Players and officials of ABS FC have been commended for raising their game to pick a point against Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) in Sunday's Globacom Premier League Week 29 game in Ibadan which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Team Manager of the Ilorin-based side, Alloy Chukwuemeka said after the match in Ibadan that the players and officials showed enough commitment, having picked four points from the last three matches against Bayelsa United, Akwa United and 3SC.
"The team showed improvement and enough commitment especially following the management's decision to sanction the team. With that, we have reversed our decisipon to slash players salaries by half. The coaches too have been left off the hook of the three match-ultimatum given to them," Chukwuemeka said.
He however charged the players and the technical crew to sustain the performance as the team
is still struggling to survive relegation.
Meanwhile, 3SC led at half time through the 17th minute penalty converted by veteran defender, Mutiu Adegoke before the Kabiru Dogo-piloted side drew parity through Muftau Saliu's 75th minute strike to run away with a point against all odds.
At Katsina Ala, Lekan Agunloye's 76th minute goal against visiting Nasarawa United ensured maximum points for the relegation-haunted Lobi Stars.
