Substitute
Nonso Mbakwe’s late minute equaliser against Gombe United in the match day 13
of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday evening ensured that Shooting
Stars Sports Club (3SC) did not leave Pantami Stadium empty-handed.
All was
going the way of the home team before Mbakwe connected a late free kick played
by captain Seun Akinyemi from the right and found the left angle of goalkeeper
Fabiyi to silence the vociferous crowd in the 92 minutes.
In form
midfielder, Samuel Agba had put Gombe United ahead in the 30th minute after
converting a spot kick when defender Samuel Olabisi handled the ball in the
box.
Before then,
the homers had failed to make use of their chances towards the tail end of the
game with goalkeeper Adamu Abubakar and his defence line being up to the task
to curtail the anxious Savannah Scorpions’ strikers.
However,
succour came in the added time with a foul on another substitute, Fawaz Otun
which produced free kick that resulted in the equaliser
By this
result, 3SC got another draw to make five draws in the last five games since
week eight at Katsina United.
