Cruel end for Shooting Stars as Warri Wolves pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Warri Wolves scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Innocent Orukpe runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Othuke Egbo falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Warri Wolves get the job done against Shooting Stars
A 1‑0 win over Shooting Stars, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Still no ink between Warri Wolves and Desmond Ojietefian
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Warri Wolves, another week without a signature from Desmond Ojietefian.

Warri Wolves keep their word to Othuke Egbo
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

A falling-out at Warri Wolves
Akpos Godbless and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Ezekiel Oroh takes the honours
Marked 7.64 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Warri Wolves had the best player on the pitch.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Oghenekaro Collins, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
