BALOTELLI of Nigerian football, Gbolahan Salami on Sunday scored twice at the Warri City Stadium to give Warri Wolves a 2-0 win over Giwa FC of Jos in a week five Globacom Premier League game.
It was Salami's first game of the season with the Seasiders after he crossed over from the relegated premier league side, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan.
Salami, a member of the Super Eagles who won the bronze at the third African Nations Championship (CHAN 2014) in South Africa, had his movement to Wolves delayed for reasons not yet ascertained before his debut today which he marked with a brace.
The former Enyimba striker scored in the 43rd minute to put the Seasiders ahead while he was also on song barely two minutes into the second half to hand the visitors their first away defeat of the season.
Goalkeeper Terkaa Melai was the hero of the game at the Emmanuel Akume Atongo Stadium, Katsina-
Ala when he converted an 89th minute penalty kick to give Lobi Stars a 1-0 victory over Kaduna United.
It was Melai's second goal of the season.
League leaders, Akwa United maintained their position on the table following their 2-0 win over Nembe City in another week five fixture at the Uyo Township Stadium.
Ukeme Davies put the homers ahead in the 12th while Ubong Ekpai who assisted in the curtain raiser put his name on the scorer's sheet in the 20th minute.
FC Taraba compounded the woes of Enyimba who last lost 0-1 at home to Abia Warriors in a derby as they
handed down a 1-0 defeat to the Aba side at the Jalingo City Stadium.
The coach Zachary Baraje-piloted side succumbed to a 19th minute goal from Bobby Abel leaving
the veteran soccer tactician in a sorrow after the final whistle.
Bayelsa United were forced to share points with El-Kanemi Warriors as the game decided at the Sapele Township Stadium, Delta State ended in a 1-1 draw.
Ebitimi Agogo put the Yenagoa-based side ahead in the 36th minute before Ndubuisi Ekwurube later
got an equaliser for the Warriors.
