Amoo and his boys heaved a sigh of relief after their first win in four matches against their arch rivals Sunshine Stars in the South West derby on Sunday.

Ajani Ibrahim’s 7th minute goal separated both sides in the tough contest that saw two of the new 3SC players Wasiu Jimoh and Abu Azeez made their debut. 

Amoo confessed that the game was a difficult one but commended his wards for giving it all to secure the maximum three points.

"We knew it would be difficult because it was a South West Derby but we gave all to win. Our focus is the next game. We must keep working hard," Amoo said.

In his reaction, Sunshine Stars coach Austin Eguavoean said his side will continue to work hard for their next matches.

Eguavon said: "It's a good game but we lost. We scored a goal but the referee over ruled it. He has the final say. We shall work harder."

The Oluyole Warriors are still rooted at the 19th position. The team’s next match is at home to Kano Pillars on Wednesday.
