SUNSHINE Stars will battle Kwara United in the final of
the 2018 edition of Gold Cup Preseason Tourney at the Ondo State Sports Complex in Akure on Saturday.
Goalkeeper, Ayo Ojo stole the evening after he stopped
two penalties as the Owena Waves beat Remo Stars 3-2 on penalties after they
played 1-1 in regulation time in the semi final decided on Thursday.
Midfielder Omaka Anthony gave the Kabiru Dogo side the
lead in the 9th minute scoring a fabulous free kick from 25yards.
Remo Stars responded well after the goal, dominating with
impressive counter play.
Their efforts were then rewarded eleven minutes later as
Edoka Owochio scored from a goal mouth scramble in the 20th minute to equalize
for his team.

ended 1-1.

he saved the first and fourth penalty kicks taken by Remo Stars.
