Sunshine Stars Football Club and Enyimba International will both rue their missed chances in a rescheduled Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL match day 13 at Aba Township Stadium.
A more determined Sunshine Stars were in control of the game from the blast of the whistle against their lethargic hosts who were playing a third competitive game within a week.
The center referee was not convinced enough to award a penalty to Sunshine Stars in the 10th minute after Chinedu Nwosu seemed to have been fouled in the vital area.
Again, the Owena Whales would have been ahead in the first half but were found wanting due to their inability to convert goal scoring chances.
At the rear, goalkeeper Emmanuel Ofori stood between the sticks to prevent Austin Onyemaechi and Ifeanyi Ihemekwele from hitting the target for the People’s Elephants.
With the hard fought goalless draw, Sunshine Stars remain 17th on the log with 18 points and will next visit Niger Tornadoes in Minna.
“I thank God for the result but our plan was to come here, pick the maximum points against Enyimba International,” Sunshine Stars coach Bobola Akinfolarin said.
Akinfolarin added that his side would continue to work on goal scoring which he said has been the team’s greatest undoing so far.
“We would have been 3-0 ahead in the first half but we were wasteful in front of goal.”
