Last gap goal earns Shooting Stars SC victory over arch rival, Bendel Insurance

Posted : 01 March 2024

Muritala Taiye’s header in the second minute of the five added minutes on Thursday in Ibadan gave hosts Shooting Stars Football Club a 1-0 win over Bendel Insurance FC of Benin.


The Oluyole Warriors had it tough before clinching the three points in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 22 fixture.


They launched several attacks from the game’s opening minutes, but they failed to get it right in the final third on most occasions.


With Insurance FC also launching several attacks and putting the hosts on the back foot many times, the hosts could not sustain the momentum and continued falling short.


But, with the home fans getting on edge and hurling abuse at the Shooting Stars bench, especially club head coach Gbenga Ogunbote, the hosts kept up their onslaughts.


A launch from the left flank was flicked on for Taiye to head in at the far side, prompting ecstatic celebrations both on and off the pitch.


The result moved the Shooting Stars one step up to 11th on the log with 30 points from 22 matches, and a -1 goal difference.
