continued its resurgence under coach Ibrahim Musa with an emphatic 3-1 victory
over drowning Sunshine Stars in the Match-day 24 of the Nigeria Professional
Football League (NPFL) clash on Sunday, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
The Sai Masu

delivering positive results for the former league champions. And it was two
goals from Lokosa and a goal from Nyima that gave the Pyramid City outfit
maximum points in the match.
Nyima gave
home fans something to cheer when he netted the first goal in what look like
the fastest goal of the ongoing season in less than ten seconds of the
encounter which made it three goals for the former Lobi Stars forward since
joining team.
Lokosa added
the second goal in the 16th minute before he completed his brace in the 41st
minute to make the first half look very easy for the home fans - his third goal
this season after his move from First bank of Lagos.

Stars got a consolation in the 70th minute through Sunday Olawale as the team’s
acting head coach Akin Olowookere tasted his first defeat in-charge of the
team.
