Optima Energy Gold Cup: Shooting Stars confirm supremacy over Osun United

 

Osun United were no match for Shooting Stars, who claimed the South-West Derby bragging rights in the 12th edition of the Optima Energy Gold Cup preseason tournament. 

The Group B Matchday 2 fixture played on Sunday at the FC Ebedei Stadium, Sagamu, had Osun United being taught some football lessons, while a poor decision from Mutiu Ganiyu cost his team dearly. 

In a game of two halves, and with two quick second-half goals in the derby. it took the Oluyole Warriors to tear the defence line of Omolubi Giants apart in the sixth minute, and deservedly took the lead after Yaya Idris shot his team in front with a cool finish from close range.

The Omolubi Giants put behind their sloppy play and got energized, as former Shooting Stars striker Ebenezer Odeyemi put the game level after slotting in the ball past Mustapha Lawal in the 13th minute.

It was all to play for in the second half, as both teams went into the break finding the back of goal. 

Shooting Stars put themselves in the driving seat in the second half, as it good play changes the dynamics of the game after being awarded a penalty following a foul by Mutiu Ganiyu on Malachi Ohawume in box, as the 3SC strike was about to convert the inviting cross and Abubakar Aliu made no mistake and scored from the spot to give Shooting Stars the lead.

Two minutes later, Victor Ehibe puts the game under locks and keys for Osun United, scoring the third goal, and sealed the first 3 points for 3SC.

NNL: Sikiru scores as 10 man Osun United boost playoff chances with draw in Enugu

 

Osun Utd once again secures a vital point in Enugu in one of the Match-Day 15 encounters of the Nigeria National League decided at UNEC Stadium, Enugu.

Seye Ajayi rang huge changes to the personnel that secure maximum points against visiting Ikorodu City last week in what's an unfamiliar squad as Mojeed Abimbola, Afeez Buhari and Sikiru Durodoye were handed the opportunity to impress.

United hit the ground running following a keenly contested openings as the host eager to go in front but Olatubosun Afolabi and Aminu Abubakar were handy for the most part of the duel.

A chance for the host 22 minutes into first period but Sabitu Abiola made an audacious save to deny the host from point blank. Two minutes later, Dayo Agbolade headed Omoluabi Giants in front but his classical header was ruled offside following an inviting well tailored set piece from Mutiu Ganiyu.

At half hour mark, Dayo Agbolade's close range low dive was parried to safety as pint sized Afeez Buhari masterminded a whip which nearly results in goal. It's a barren draw for the two sides in the first period.

The proceeding resumes with Giant Brillars piling pressures on United but a disciplined defensive work kept the threatening forwards at bay. A wonderful moment came three minutes past the hour mark following a long bursting runs from Sikiru down the lane as he stole a howler only to put it beyond opponents goalkeeper in a vital area. Seven minutes later, he was given the marching order following an altercation as he was awkwardly stretched by the medics.

The host responded twelve minutes later through Agu Offe from the spot as a result of a clumsy blockage which Centre Referee adjudged to be a foul. Moments at the death, Agbor Paul, Chika Kelvin and Ahmed Ahmed who were introduced deep into second period were impressive, combining well to ensure a vital point as Seye Ajayi tutored side boasts of another impressive runs.

What's next for Omoluabi Giants is a semi final clash with Nationwide League One side Karamba FC in the state Federations Cup on Tuesday at Ilesha Grammar School before welcoming perennial rival, Crown FC of Ogbomoso in Match-day 16 of Nigeria National League on Saturday 30th March 2024

Tosin Omoyele: Defenders' nightmare that refuse to settle for less

 

If Tosin Omoyele had a collection of journals, they would make for a fascinating read.

At a tender age, he was the face of COD United - conceivably the most gifted soccer player to have come out of the defunct club.

Tosin Omoyele is a name that strikes fear to defenders in the Nigerian League. In stints at Osun United, Plateau United, Enyimba and Katsina United he became the reliable target man and scored lots of goals.

His adventure abroad has seen him play for Nogoom and now USM Khenchela.

In an exclusive interview with Naija Footballers Forum, the 26-year-old forward reveals his thoughts on life in Algeria, talks about his journey so far as a Footballer and casts an eye towards the future.

Q: Just a few years ago you were playing in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). Now you're in the Algeria Ligue 1 rubbing shoulders with some of the best in Africa. What has it been like as an experience?

Omoyele Tosin: Algerian teams do perform well on the continent. USM Algiers won the CAF Confederation Cup. It has been tough and the exciting playing in the Ligue 1. I have played with a lot of footballers, met some good coaches and a couple of national team players. Before you can play in Algeria as a foreigner, you must have been capped in the national team. I think it is a privilege for me and I'm always happy to play. I have enjoyed playing here in Algeria. Many players want a new challenge. It's not like I am the best to be out of the NPFL, it's just a rare privilege. I had some challenges at the beginning. They speak French and Arabic. I tried to familiarise with the languages and coped at the end.

Q: The Algerian top flight has been perceived as being difficult to carve a niche for foreign footballers? Will you say that your presence has been well felt within the period spent at Khenchela? For example, how do you communicate with your team-mates? How do the supporters react whenever the team is performing well or the other way round?

Teams believe you have what it takes to be a professional and disciplined. It's not easy here. They look at your attitude and willingness to be a team player. With the help of my coaches and players, I was able to settle down. The supporters always want someone to give his best. They have the winning mentality and want players to give their best. The fans want you to perform better in every game. Algerians believe that foreigners are professionals and should always give their best whenever they step to the pitch.

Q: Growing up as a teenager, you tormented a lot of defenders in the streets but didn't really get the chance to showcase the talent given to you by Teams in the league. Who will say gave you that chance to play the Nigerian League?

Omoyele: When growing up, it was streets galore. We tried to make ourselves happy. My passion and love for the game gradually developed. I was always proud to play on the streets. Some Academies around the streets gave me the chance. Through the help of one of my brothers, I joined COD United. Growing up in Lagos helped me as well. Teams like Bridge Boys, Union Bank and First Bank inspired me. I also had the opportunity to see Federation Cup, Nigeria League, Boska Cup and some interesting competitions at the Stadium. I was very attentive and learned from a couple of senior players. It was then I made up my mind to be a professional Footballer.

Q: Gold Cup Coordinator, Mr Tunde Shamsudeen is someone you say a lot of good things about. How influencial has he been to your football career?

Omoyele: Mr Tunde Shamsudeen is God sent to me. I played against Osun United during my stint at COD United. He showed interest and urged me to move to Osun United. Mr Tunde Shamsudeen wants the best for me, he wants me to be successful. He has always tried to encourage. At my lowest ebb, he was always there for me. He has always been good to me. Egbon Shamsudeen introduced me to the Late Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi of blessed memory. Playing for Osun United made people recognise me. Mr Shamsudeen is not just a partner in progress but my family.

Q: How do you cope with life in Algeria? What is favourite food, colour and holiday destination?

Omoyele: Life in Algeria has been training, come back home and eat. Once in a while I go out for shopping. There are few foreigners in the state that I am, so I don't meet a lot of people. My favourite food is Amala and Ewedu. I love white and black. My preferred holiday destination is Lagos because that's the location of my family. Smiles .....

Q:  Do you envisage a journey to Europe in the course of your football adventure?

Omoyele: If the opportunity comes, I will grab it. Every player wants to play in Europe. Wherever I find myself I will always give the best on the pitch. But right now the focus is on USM Khenchala who pay my wages.

Q: What is your best outfit? Who is favourite NPFL player and coach?

Omoyele: I prefer round neck and jean. I'm not a fan of native wears. I admire Oche Ochewechi a lot. As for my favourite coach, it is no doubt Coach Kennedy Boboye. He understands me very well. He is like a father to me.

Q: Can Tosin Omoyele choose the best XI of players who were his teammates in the NPFL?

Omoyele: Dele Ajiboye, Ogene Elijah, Solomon Junior, Daniel Itodo, Chizoba Amaefule, Farouk Mohammed, Oche Ochowechi, Reuben Bala, Alimi Sikiru, Jesse Akila and myself (Tosin Omoyele).

Q: Which defender did you found difficult to play against in the Nigerian League? Tell us your best moment in the NPFL? Who is your role model? 

No doubt, late Chinedu Udoji and Emmanuel Anyanwu. Udoji, may his soul rest in peace. The duo always come hard at me and always warn me to thread softly or get kicked...Smiles...My best moment in the NPFL was when I featured for Plateau United against the CHAN team in Kano. My role model is Lionel Messi. I love Messi so much.

Q: The Ligue 1 will come to an end on Saturday. What are the highs and lows of the 2022/23 season for you?

Omoyele: I think we did well to stabilize. We showed people that the future is bright. The coaches, management and players really did well. My contract with USM Khenchala expires at the end of the season. For now, I just want to come home and enjoy with the family. My future isn't a priority for now. We will see how things goes.

Q: What has been the greatest moment of your career?

Omoyele: It was my call up for the Super Eagles B team against Atletico Madrid in Uyo. I was very happy because my family, loved ones and fans watched me on TV. It was a great moment to play on the same pitch with Fernando Torres, Thomas Partey, Jan Oblak, Andrea Correa, Juanfran and some of the big names in the Spanish side. I even assisted Usman Mohammed's goal at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. 22nd May, 2018 is a defining moment in my career.

Q: What is the difference between NPFL and the Algeria Ligue 1? What has improved in your game as a Footballer since having another stint in North Africa after the previous one in Egypt?

Omoyele: Clubs get sponsors to pay salaries and bonuses. Government owned clubs even do well to get sponsors. In NPFL, it's majorly Government owned clubs who wait for allocation. I think the NPFL has improved in terms of officiating and TV coverage. In Algeria, games are always on TV. I really enjoyed playing in Egypt because of the coverage. The Federation have a lot of sponsors and it helps the league. There is much fund. In Algeria and Egypt, the road networks are far better. There is little difference compared to Nigeria.

Q: Do you feel disappointed not getting a call up to the main team of the Super Eagles?

Omoyele: It's the joy of every good player to feature for the National team. Everything is time and I am prepared to wait for it. 

Q: Now that the money is coming on a regular basis, hope you are investing for the future? Where do you see yourself in the next 15 years?

Omoyele: Laughs..... Everyone wants a bright future. Life after Football is a priority for me. I hope to invest the little I have on profitable ventures.

'Royal Warriors' need outright win while Okinni based Fehinty FC must avoid defeat to beat the drop.

According to Coach Seye Ajayi, the head coach of Osun Utd,. He hailed the boys for the job well executed amid injury concerns but promised to promote the team by all means.

"What is important to us is to pick the sole ticket in the group and that we have been able to do amid terrific atmosphere, that makes our next game less important.

#NLO'23: Seye Ajayi hails Osun United players after perfect start to season

 

Two goals from Godspower Gabriel gave Osun Utd the deserved victory as Omoluabi Giants open the league account on a bright start, easing past debutant Igbajo Utd., in a keenly contested duel at Osogbo Township Stadium.

Having drawn bye in Match Day One, Seye Ajayi tutored side announced their dominance early enough but Igbajo Utd shows composure at the back, making it difficult for the pairing of Godspower and Solomon to thrive as expected.

Moment of relief for 'Believe And Achieve' side, two minutes past half hour, Solomon drags a brilliant pass into opponents' goal area but was sternly hacked down only for Centre Referee to point to the spot without delay as Gabriel Godspower unerringly rockets the resulting spot-kick home for the opener.

Four minutes later, 'Village Boys' didn't survive another pressure as Godspower grabbed his brace in style, jabbing in from close range. 

The second half witnessed a pulsating encounter with the two sides creating chances upon chances without making it count even as Osun Utd survived a scare which saw Bello Semiu pulled a brilliant save as he tipped out a creeping loop which could have seen the deficit reduced to half.

Coach Seye Ajayi afterwards lavished encomiums on his boys for a perfect start and for moments of brilliance in the first half, he however admits his boys lack same first stanza energy needed in the second half. "We need to be consistent throughout the game and bury our chances as they come. This is a league and we won't underate any team, it's not a bad start for us, we shall work on the negatives." Former 3SC goal merchant stated.
