<br>Lobi Stars’ gritty performance against [Shooting](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/nigerian-premier-league/olamilekan-adedayo-credits-teamwork-for-remos-win-over-shooting-stars/) Stars is a testament to their resilience and [determination](https://nachfolgewiki.de/index.php/Benutzer:JeanetteTiemann) to turn their season around. The team’s first win of the 2024/2025 NPFL campaign comes at a crucial moment, as they were under pressure to secure points early on. This victory not only boosts team morale but also sets the stage for future success, particularly with an important North Central derby on the horizon.
<br>
<br>The [standout performance](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/11-top-nigerian-players-secure-new-clubs-in-winter-transfer-window/) of Samuel Tiza, who netted the winning goal, highlights the importance of individual moments in tight games. Tiza’s familiarity with his former club gave him an edge, but credit must also go to Ahmadu Liman for providing the assist. Coach Eugene Agagbe’s strategic substitutions, especially the introduction of captain Daniel Atsaka, further solidified the team’s defence and ensured they kept their lead intact.

<br>As we look ahead, Lobi Stars must build on this victory. They demonstrated strength in both attack and defence, but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to maintain consistent form throughout the season. The upcoming match against Niger Tornadoes will be a true test of their progress, but with renewed confidence, Lobi Stars appear poised for a more successful campaign.
