El Kanemi must pay

The last time the Oluyole Warriors played in front of their fans at the Lekan Salami, they failed to make it count, leaving their supporters disappointed after dropping two points.

3SC were held to a goalless draw by vistors, Kwara United, but the Oracle believes it's time to put a smile on the faces of the fans with a win and three points to kick start their season.
