The Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan on Wednesday, played another home draw with the visiting Rangers International of Enugu.
The match which started around 7p.m. ended in a 1-1 draw.
Although the Shooting Stars formidable team, put up a spirited fight with the Rangers, they were pegged by tactics of the visitors at NPFL matchday 16 encounter, played at the Lekan Salami Stadium.
Playing under floodlights, before their supporters and fans, including the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, the Oluyole Warriors fought bravely right from the blast of the referees’s whistle, invading their opponents’ goal area, but only lacked the cutting edge.
Despite defending for most part of the half, it was the Flying Antelopes, who shot into the lead a minute into the added time, through Ikechukwu Eboko, to end the first half 1-0 in favour of the Abdul-Maikaba-tutored lads.
However, the Ibadan soccer lords turned on more heat on the Antelopes in search of the leveller which did not come until the 57th minute, when Chinedu Enuademu, making his first appearance for the team after a long absence due to injury, got the well deserved equaliser in a fabulous fashion, after receiving a tailored pass from Akilu Mohammed.
