The Sunshine Stars FC of Akure defeated fellow strugglers, Akwa United, 2-0 in another match day 35 encounter of the Nigeria Premier Football League, at the Ondo Sports Complex, Akure.
The match was a push for survival in the league for both teams as Lucky Nwafor and Ibrahim Yusuf did the job for the hosts in the second half after the first half ended goalless.
Boboye’s introduction of young sensation, Chinedu Nwosu, in the 73rd minute did the magic as Lucky Nwafor was lucky to give the home team an opener in the 74th minute with substitute, Yusuf Ibrahim, scoring from a close range freekick to make it 2 -0 to put the game beyond the visitors.
Akwa United’s Head coach, Mohammed Babaganaru, said the game was a disappointing one for his side as they failed to pick the needed points.
