Shooting Stars coach Salisu Yusuf has focused his team's attention on the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup following their 2-1 win over Inter Lagos in the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League opener at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan on Friday. Emmanuel and Ibrahim scored for the Oluyole Warriors, who had not won on the opening day in three years.
The hosts took an early lead through Lucky Emmanuel in the 14th minute, but Inter Lagos' Njoku equalized seven minutes later. Despite close calls from Desmond and Emmanuel, Inter Lagos regained the lead before halftime. Yusuf believes the win will also improve the team's match fitness ahead of their continental match against CS Sfaxien on Saturday.
