By Daniel Oriloye - Shooting Stars have emerged champions of the inaugural FC Ebedei/FC Midtjylland Year-End Invitational Tournament after a 3-1 win over Cornerstone FC at the Olubadan Stadium, Oyo State.
After going into the finale of the four-team tourney which kicked off on November 18, a draw was the least the Oluyole Warriors needed to be crowned champions, as they had a plus two goals difference ahead Cornerstone FC despite both teams levelled on 6points each.
That they did, as they went unbeaten in three matches, spicing it up with 9 points and scoring 14 goals.
Not minding Shooting Star's elite status, Cornerstone FC showed they would be stubborn to beat after they took the lead after 18 minutes of play via a strike from Adeleke Olamilekan.
Ifeanyi Ihemekule cut short Cornerstone FC's joy of going into the locker room with a one-goal advantage when he scored the equalizing goal in the added time of the first half.
Shooting Stars then showed class in the second half scoring two goals in the 63rd minute via a fantastic strike from Tosin Olawale while Joshua Akpan put the icing on the cake in the 85th minute after he steered the ball into the bottom corner with the third goal after beating his marker in the box.
