Results from Match Day 34 in the Nigeria Premier League, (NPFL) saw the match between Sunshine Stars of Akure and between Katsina United recording the only draw of the day. Both teams failed to score.

The result however puts Sunshine Stars Football Club’s quest to escape relegation from the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in danger. 

In the Match Day 34 fixture at the Ondo State Sports Complex in Akure, strikers Kolade Adeniji and Ajani Ibrahim were guilty of wasting several goalscoring chances in the first half.

In the match’s second half, Sunshine Stars’ push for a goal was fruitless in spite of coach Deji Ayeni ringing so many changes.

The Head Coach of Katsina United, Baldwin Bazuaye, said the match result was a retaliation.

“My team has only picked the one point Sunshine Stars picked from us during the first stanza of the league,” he said.

Bazuaye, who thanked his technical crew colleagues and the Katsina state government for the support they have been receiving, said the team was okay with their position on the table.

“I think for now we are good. We are okay where we are and we are still going to move forward,” he said.

On his part, Ayeni was not available for the post-match interview.

Sunshine Stars are 17th on the log with 38 points, while Katsina United are 13th with 43 points
