Shooting StarsSports Club (3SC) of Ibadan technical adviser, Fatai Amoo says his wards were at their best when they played against Rivers United in a match day six of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday.

The Ibadan-warlords halted Rivers United’s five game unbeaten run with a 2-1 win at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan.

Sunday Faleye and Jide Apena’s goals either side of half time earned Oluyole Warriors maximum three points at stake in the match while Lukman Mohammed’s first half goal was not enough to get anything for United.

Speaking after the game, Amoo said that Rivers United’s big status in the league encouraged his boys to play with high intensity during the game, stressing that his players are improving game after game.

“We were motivated knowing we were facing one of the best clubs (Rivers United) in the country.  We knew United could easily reduce us to dust if we did not come to the party and that is what really motivated us.  I thank God that my young boys proved that with time, they will grow,” Amoo said.
