The highly anticipated Abuja All-Stars tournament has kicked off with excitement, featuring over 20 teams competing over one month. The tournament showcases a mix of ex-internationals and captains of industry promising a thrilling display of talent.

Defending champions All Stars International set the tone by dominating City Gate Sporting Club with a commanding 4-0 victory in the opening match. All Stars International coach Zakari Musa attributed the win to the team’s strong cohesion and commitment to training. “There is great understanding among the players, and regular participation in training has made us the team to beat. We don’t take any opponent for granted, so we continue to work hard,” Musa said.

Despite the loss, City Gate Sporting Club head coach Kingsley Omeje remained optimistic, acknowledging the difference in experience but focusing on improvement. “You can see the gap in class; they have ex-internationals, which we don’t have. But we’ve learned a lot and will work on these areas ahead of our next matches,” Omeje remarked.

Nigerian forward Charles Adah Agada scored twice as HNK Orijent secured a 2-0 away victory over Karlovac 1919 in the Croatian SuperSport Prva NL on Saturday.

Orijent produced an impressive performance at the Branko Čavlović-Čavlek Stadium in Karlovac to claim all three points in the league encounter.

Agada, a former Mavlon FC of Lagos attacker, was the standout performer, finding the net twice to help the visitors overcome their hosts and strengthen their position in the league campaign.
Orijent went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage before extending their lead in the second half.

The Nigerian striker completed his brace with the goal that made it 2-0 in the 57th minute.
Karlovac were unable to find a response as Orijent held on to their advantage to secure victory away from home.

The result represents an important boost for Orijent, who will look to build on the performance in their subsequent league fixtures.

For Agada, the brace underlines his value to the team as Orijent continue their campaign in Croatia’s second-tier football competition.

He has built an important role on loan at the club and has successfully established himself as a regular fixture in their lineup, appearing in all 8 league matches so far this season.
