NPFL 2019: Sunshine Stars Subdue Tornadoes In Akure
Chibundu Amah’s fifth goal of the season secured a 1-0 win for Sunshine Stars in a pulsating Nigeria Professional Football League week 19 game with Niger Tornadoes at Ondo State Sports Complex, Akure, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report.
The striker pounced on a Fuad Ekelojuoti’s cross in the 66th minute to secure the win that moved the coach Kabiru Dogo’s charges up to 6th on the log with three round of matches to go in the championship.
Goalkeeper, Ayo Ojo was restored to the starting line up in place of Henry Ayodele as Dogo kept faith with the entire outfield players that started in Thursday’s hardly-deserved narrow loss at Remo Stars.
The hosts started Sunday’s contest on the driving seat and almost made their dominance count in the opening 15 minutes.
With the win Sunshine Stars have now amassed 26 points from 19 matches in the abridged campaign and the Akure Landlords will next make a long trip to the Northwest for a midweek clash with Katsina United.
