Ossy Martins Brace Ease Pressure Off Amokachi As Lobi Stars Dislodge Bayelsa United

Lobi Stars recorded their first win under the guidance of Daniel Amokachi courtesy of Ossy Martins whose two goals ensured that Lobi Stars defeated Bayelsa United 2-1 in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL ) match played on Monday at the Lafia Township Stadium, Nasarawa.

The former Nigeria international was appointed in Week 5 to replace Eugene Agagbe after the latter could only win once out of the five matches played under his watch.

Daniel Amokachi needed a victory going into Monday’s game against Ladan Bosso’s Bayelsa United as both teams are deep in relegation waters.

Bayelsa United only goal in the 30th minute. Penalty spot.
