Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan on Sunday defeated Abia Warriors FC 4-1 in a Matchday 11 fixture of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the encounter, played at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, saw the hosts dominate proceedings to secure a convincing victory.
3SC took an early lead in the fourth minute through Damilola Akinola, who beat the Abia Warriors goalkeeper with a well-placed effort.
The hosts maintained their dominance and doubled their advantage in the 41st minute through Sodiq Ibrahim.
Ibrahim completed his brace deep into first-half added time to give 3SC a commanding 3-0 lead at the break.
Abia Warriors returned for the second half with renewed determination and reduced the deficit in the 80th minute to make it 3-1.
However, Issa Yusuf put the result beyond doubt when he scored 3SC’s fourth goal in the 88th minute.
The victory represents a significant boost for the Ibadan-based side, which has struggled for consistency this season.
