Oshagbemi shines, grabs hattrick as NPFL Stars crush NNL Stars to pick Amapro final spot


It was another outstanding performance from Godwin Oshagbemi who grabbed a hat trick to help NPFL All Stars defeat NNL All Stars in the semi final of the Amapro football championship.

NPFL All Stars thrashed their opponent 5-1 to set up a final against Abraysports FC.

Oshagbemi was the cynosure of all eyes with his impressive performance as NPFL boys confirmed their supremacy on the NNL chaps.

NNL boys took the lead in the 18th minute of the match when a good pass from Sufian Bello met Ahmed Hameed, who put the ball past onrushing Kazeem Yekini.

NPFL All Stars even the score line two minutes later as Godwin Oshagbemi intercepted and tucked home a free kick from Ebuka Anaekwe.

Oshagbemi gave the NPFL Stars the lead with perfect finish in the 30th minutes before Ibrahim Hammed redirected a ball to his own net to extend NPFL lead before half time.

The Kwara Football Academy product got his hat trick few minutes into restart with thunderous shot that caught Saka Ajanaku napping.

Oshagbemi recently joined ASVO FC of Benin Republic ahead of the upcoming football season. He is expected to replicate his best form in his new home.

The former Kwara United player said after the game "I was excited to score an hattrick. It really pained me I have not been part of the tournament since the begining because I wasn't around. I know that Abraysports are very aggressive but we will use experience for them in the final.
