WEEK THREE ROUND UP
SUNSHINE ON TOP
Shooting stars of ibadan recover from their away defeat in the hands of dolphins last week in port hacourt to beat lobi stars 3-1 who are smarting from recent success at the CAF confederation cup.
Talking about recovering the greatest team that recovered best from the earlier two games slumber was heartland Fc ,they used the week 3 encounter against kaduna utd to tell those who care to listen that they are ready to claim their rightfulplace in the Nigeria league,the FA and Super cup Winner defeated kaduna utd by four goals to one
Kwara Utd away victory against Sharks of Portharcourt clearly stand them out of the crowd as the best performer of the week as away victory in the Nigeria professional football league is a luxury that is hard to comeby;nevertheless this season so far has witnessed at least an away victory every week a signal to the fact that the officiating is getting better and clearly a break away from the usual norm that home victories are non negiotiable whether the home team deserve it or not ,the referee must conjure a victory either by hook or crook
Nembe city FC one of the teams that have recorded an away victory this season has failed to reproduced the form that saw beat Heartland at owerri as the team has slumped to back to back to defeat since that unexpepectedfeat in owerri ; a bapstism of fire of sort for the new comer,they lost to Rangers at home last week and got beaten by Nassarrawa FC in week 3 ,now they need to re group early enough before their next game in order to put a halt to the free fall they ve found themselves 'after thier initial gra gra' of week one.
Enyimba FC kept it late but did enough to beat Elkanemi two goals to nil,as the two goals came in the 84th and 86th minutes for the Ever vociferous Aba fans to breath a sigh of relieve
While Sunshine of Akure made kept thier unbeaten run so far in the league when they defeated Gombe utd at the Akure township stadium in a five goal thriller,the ended three goals to two in favour of the home side o shoot to the top of the log.
Rangers international failed to win for the first time this season after playing goalless with warri wolves
