Shock at Lekan Salami: Bayelsa United Stun Shooting Stars in Ibadan

The start of the new NPFL season took an unexpected turn on Sunday as Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) suffered a shocking home defeat to Bayelsa United at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, under the guidance of their newly appointed coach, Nurudeen Aweroro.

The Oluyole Warriors, who had raised expectations following a preseason road show and restructuring moves by the club, produced a disappointing display in front of their home supporters. The lackluster performance left fans frustrated, with many voicing anger over the team selection.

Critics pointed fingers at Coach Aweroro for dropping experienced old players in favour of fresh recruits, a gamble that appeared to backfire in the season opener. Supporters lamented that the team lacked cohesion and bite, especially in key moments of the game.

While the loss has dampened initial optimism, fans are still hopeful that the new coach can quickly find the right blend of experience and youth to deliver better results in coming fixtures. The mood in Ibadan remains tense, but the Oluyole faithful are holding out for a swift turnaround to reignite their confidence in the team.
