 By Ikenna Okonkwo:
Abuja based Supreme Court Football Club rekindled their chance of finishing on top of its group by the end of the season after a 2-0 victory over Jigawa Golden Stars of Dutse in one of the Match-day eight games decided in the Nigeria National League penultimate  weekend.

Playing at the popular Area 3,Play Ground in Abuja as the home side,the much needed win came in the second half, courtesy of two quick goals from Striker Paul Samson and Emmanuel Chukwuma in what appeared like a pay back to their Opponents who claimed a late lone goal victory in the first leg in Dutse.


The Apex Boys  as they are fondly called after a goalless first half, resumed the second half  in   blistering style.


Paul Samson nicknamed Drogba released a beautiful salvo from outside 25 metres from the opponents goal line  to open scoring in the 54th minute.



Not done yet, defender Emmanuel Chukwuma who positioned himself appropriately tapped intelligently the second goal after a well delivered corner kick from Emmenuel Gbemi six  minutes later.


Supreme Court interim head coach Joachim Osuji who praised his boys for high level performance added that with proper motivation, his side has all it takes to do more.


His words:“We have to move on from here. Its unfortunate we lost our last away match in Jos last weekend. From here, we will take a lot of positives ahead of the remaining matches this season.

“The performance of my players was better in the second half because we were able to address the lapses noticed in first half, He added”


Samson, one of the goal scorers said “I’m happy to score again. The victory will serve as motivation ahead of our next game against Kogi United in Lokoja.”
