Match report
Warri Wolves secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Shooting Stars in the NPFL Regular Season round six on Sunday. The result leaves the hosts seven points from five games while the visitors sit six points from four outings. Both sides entered the fixture looking to build momentum after mixed recent form.
By then the atmosphere had been building for some time. The home supporters stayed vocal throughout, and their side never got out of second gear when it mattered. To be fair, Shooting Stars had nothing to do all evening and rarely threatened to carve Wolves open.
We had given our readers a home win with moderate confidence before kick-off, and the outcome vindicated that call. And here's the thing — it wasn't a dominant display so much as a disciplined one. Wolves kept their shape, pressed when needed, and eventually got over the line.
The result extends the hosts' unbeaten run to eight across all competitions. Their last five saw two wins, one draw, and two defeats, with the 0-0 stalemate against Nigeria Torndo being the most recent. Shooting Stars, meanwhile, lost their second straight after a 2-0 win over KatSina United.
At this stage of the table, every point carries weight. Wolves move closer to the upper half while the visitors remain in the lower reaches. The gap between them stays small, but position matters when the season tightens.
