Sharks FC recorded a com
fortable 3-0 win over Crown FC in a Week 4 game of the Glo Premier League played at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt, on Saturday afternoon.
The match started in lethargic fashion with both sides struggling to create any clear chances. A free-kick was awarded in favour of the hosts in the 10th minute, but Nathaniel Joseph blazed his set-piece over the bar.
Sharks then took the lead after they were awarded a penalty in the 16th minute, which was duly converted by their goalkeeper, Danladi Isah, who sent Uweru the wrong way.
Ifeanyi Inyam doubled Sharks FC’s lead four minutes later, as he shot past Uweru after receiving a sublime pass from Kelly Kester. Kester nearly extended the advantage for the hosts 10 minutes later with a shot from 30-yards, but his effort hit the side-netting.
In a show of solidarity before half-time, supporters of Dolphins FC teamed up with the supporters of their City rivals to cheer the Blue Angels to victory against the visitors from Ogbomosho.
Obomate headed in the third goal for Sharks in the 64th minute after great build-up play by Kester and Odinga Odinga who provided the assist.
Wild chants of ‘ Odinga Odinga’, for the club’s long serving captain continued for minutes as the Blue Angels recorded a comfortable home win.
Dolphins came from behind to beat visiting Sunshine Stars 2-1 in a Week 4 game of the Glo Premier League played in Port Harcourt as part of a double header at the Sharks Stadium.
Former Rangers hitman Oghogho Oduokpe curled in a free-kick as early as the fourth minute to give the visiting Akure Gunners a first-half lead.
Dolphins were offered a chance to level eight minutes later after Ifeanyi Egwim was brought down inside the box, but Isiaka Olawale wasted the resulting spot-kick as his poor attempt was easily gathered by Ekene Ezenwa.
Later in the same  venues, Dolphins continued to search for an equaliser but Sunshine carried their advantage into the interval.
Parity was restored in the 54th minute when Oduokpe turned from hero to villain as he scored an own goal off an initial effort from Emem Eduok. The hosts, however, suffered a setback five minutes later as Hope Fibresima was sent off for a hard tackle on Kingsley Eduwo.
Eduok eventually scored the winner for Dolphins in the 79th minute as his free-kick took a wicked deflection that beat Ezenwa.
