Joshua Akpan opened the scoring just before halftime in the 45th minute, capitalizing on a precise buildup to give Shooting Stars a crucial lead. The hosts maintained their intensity in the second half, and Adams Mustapha sealed the victory with a well-taken goal in the 79th minute.
Kano Pillars faced additional challenges as they were without two of their key players, Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali, whose absence was felt in the visitors' inability to mount a strong attacking threat. Shooting Stars' organized defense ensured Kano Pillars left without a goal to their name.
The win not only adds vital points to Shooting Stars' campaign but also strengthens their position as serious contenders in the league. The vibrant home crowd played a crucial role in motivating the players, creating an atmosphere that will be remembered for a long time.
This result highlights Shooting Stars' intent to remain competitive in the league and signals a potential resurgence of their historical legacy in Nigerian football.
