Shooting Stars showcased their determination for a top-three spot in the Nigeria Premier League with a rare 2-1 victory in Kano on Monday evening, marking a significant departure from their previous away struggles against Kano Pillars.
Shooting Stars changed the narrative as they surprisingly earned the maximum 3 point away from home in a ground usually accompanied by divers whitewashing.
In past encounters, Shooting Stars often faced heavy defeats, with scorelines reaching as wide as 6-0. However, their recent performance demonstrated a shift in momentum. Initially, the match seemed to follow familiar patterns when Shooting Stars conceded an early goal in the opening minutes, with Rabiu Ali putting Kano Pillars ahead.
Despite this setback, Shooting Stars regrouped and displayed resilience. In the second half, Taiye Murtala equalized just three minutes after the restart. The dramatic turn of events culminated in serial scorer Christian Pyagbara netting the winning goal in the fourth minute of added time, securing a crucial victory for Shooting Stars.
This victory signifies their continued pursuit of success in the league and highlights their ability to compete against formidable opponents.
