Ogunbote shift focus on 3SC survival

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote has shifted his focus on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) following his side’s exit in the Federation Cup Round of 16 clash against Rivers United on Wednesday.

The Oluyole Warriors’ hope of progressing to the next stage of the competition was dashed after losing 3-2 to Rivers United on penalties.

Ogunbote, who identified experience as the tie breaker in the contest against Rivers United, said his priority now is to see how 3SC will survive the relegation.

“It was keenly-contested but we need to score. We have one clear chance and if we had scored, it would have made the difference. These things however happen in football and there is nothing you can do. They showed more maturity than us in the penalty shootout but now, we have to concentrate on avoiding relegation in the (Nigeria Professional Football League),” Ogunbote said.
