Lobi Stars and Kwara United

Three minutes before the break, Stanley Oganbor added the second goal to give the visitors from Lafia a comfortable lead on the road at halftime.

The victory was Lobi’s second of the season away from home, the second team to win two matches on the road after Remo Stars.
Yes Father taunt Kwara's mascot
After the match, the visitors took to their social media account to react to the impressive victory.
To rub insult on the wounds of their hosts, Lobi posted a picture of a tired Kwara United fan and mascot, Arabambi, who sat frustrated and sober during the match.

“Dear @KwaraUnitedFC, a nice game we had today,” Lobi posted. “Hope your mascot, #Arabambi is okay now? Our regards to #Arabambi.”
“Football is about entertainment. The fee-paying fans got a nice #matchdayexperience on the first #MatchDay of #2024,” Yes Father added.

Lobi Stars are now joint leaders with Remo Stars, who needed a late drama to overcome a spirited Sunshine Stars in Ikenne.
