Kennedy Boboye, Coach of Sunshine Stars FC, in a post-match interview with newsmen, hailed his side’s performance in the game.

Boboye said his side would now be looking towards their next league match against Wikki Tourists, hoping to record their second away win.

“The fact that we have seven of our players invited to the national teams’ camps will not affect our preparation for the game though.

`The rules say when you have more than five players in the national camp, your next game will be postponed.

“However, at any time the team will be playing, some of the players will be released to us,’’ he said.

NAN reports that Sunshine Stars now have 46 points from 25 matches to return to the top of the league.
