Ajayi Samuel gave Shooting Stars the lead with volley from 20 yards out in the 9th minute while Juwon Adeyemi cancelled the lead for Sunshine 12 minutes later. The lads from Ibadan kept piling up the pressure and asking all the questions until Wahab Azan made it two in the 56th minute to ensure their semi final ticket is in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach of Shooting Stars FC, Adeyemo Ayodeji, in his post match briefing stated this: \u201cThe match was really tough for us, and I think it largely because our boys didn\u2019t play to instructions. We hope to correct whatever mistakes made here today in our next game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the second match of the day, Abubakar Yasir\u2019s 26th strike was all it took the defending Champions to book a semi final slot, as all efforts by the Bauchi based side to initiate a come back proved abortive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handler of Katsina United, Tukur Hassan in his post match reaction, said: \u201cWe have been facing this competition one game at a time and so far, it has worked for us. The boys actually played their hearts out in all departments and I\u2019m proud of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
