2025 NLO Match Day 4: Bright Stars FA pips Enyimba Feeders

Posted : 30 April 2025

A moment of sheer individual brilliance from Fabian Omaka in the first half of a keenly contested Match Day 4 duel against the Baby Elephants proved crucial for Bright Stars FA as they earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory at the expense of the Enyimba Youth team.

The fiercely contested tie lived up to expectations as hostilities got underway in the first half. There was never a dull moment at either end, as an early quest for goals brought out the best from both teams.

The Stars took the game to their opponents with a couple of early dominant moments, as the duo of Prince Nwachukwu and Ekene made their presence felt in the middle of the park for the Ukpakiri-based outfit. Meanwhile, Fabian Omaka created several scoring opportunities down the right with his dazzling step-overs.

The Stars came close to breaking the deadlock in the 20th minute when Fabian Omaka, with a beautiful run down the right, set up Amos Chiedozie. However, Chiedozie’s wayward shot went high over the bar, much to the relief of the Enyimba backline, who had hoped the pacy winger would have scored from such a promising position.

The battle continued as both sides tried to capitalize on any loopholes, but neither could find a way through, with both teams maintaining a commendable level of discipline, both on and off the ball.

The breakthrough finally came in the 28th minute when attacking midfielder Fabian Omaka brilliantly bent his free kick beyond the reach of a helpless goalkeeper, Eze Matthew. The goal was a stunning effort and should arguably be in contention for goal of the season so far.

The first half ended with Bright Stars FA earning the halftime bragging rights. Upon the resumption of the second half, the Baby Elephants seemed to roar back to life with some fresh injections from the coach Akuma-Joe-led technical crew.

The surge for the equalizer continued as the Baby Elephants threw everything they had, but a resolute defense line for Bright Stars FA, led by Nelson Stephen, stood tall.

All efforts from second-half substitutes for the feeders to draw level proved futile, as the center referee finally brought the match to a close.

Next for the shining stars is a Matchday 5 showdown against rivals City Stars FC in the Battle of the Stars.
