Abia Warriors have beaten Sunshine Stars 4-1 to record their first victory in the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
The matchday eight fixture played at the Okigwe stadium witnessed the goalscoring quality of a rejuvenated Warriors team.
Fatai Abdullahi opened scoring in the 16th minute, curling home a nice freekick to give the Warriors the lead. Five minutes later, Emmanuel Ugwuka’s header made it two for coach Imama Amapakabo’s team.
It would have been three quick goals but Adekunle Adeleke’s effort at goal came off the cross bar. Abia Warriors took the 2-0 lead into the break.
