Lobi Stars gave a complete performance as they thrashed Kwara United 3-0 in the match day five of the 2019 Nigeria professional football league at Aper Aku Stadium on Sunday.
The players showed why they are playing in the CAF Champions league as they proved to be level above Abubakar Bala’s who enjoy much of ball possession in the second half but struggled to create anything concrete for the entire duration.
Lobi took the lead with just nine minutes into game after Michael Stephen finished emphatically in the penalty area from their first shot on target.
Yahaya added the second in the 28th minutes and completed his brace four minutes later to end any hope of Kwara United come back and go to half-time break with a comfortable lead.
Kwara United came into the second half with an intent to reduced the deficit as they enjoy most of the balls with Lobi Stars sitting back to closed down every space.
Coach Abubakar Bala decided introduced Uche Onwuasonanaya, Mohammed Sani Rabiu and Ebenezer Odeyemi into the game but it was too late as the host held on for the maximum points.
Kwara United remain in fifth place in group A of the Nigeria professional football league table , a point ahead of Lobi Stars who have three games in hand.
