Heartland And Shooting Stars Game Called Off
Published: August 10, 2015
Torrential rain in Oba left the Rojenny International Stadium pitch barely playable and match referee John Inoyo called off the game between Heartland and Shooting Stars.
Sunday Adetunji came close to shocking the Naze Millionaires but he was halted by young goalkeeper Emmanuel Iwu.
Debutant Danladi Isa made a cracking save from a long range effort by Babangida Hassan.
The former Sharks goal minder defied the heavy rain and made another save in the 21st minute.
With conditions worsening and the pitch clearly unplayable, both sets of players were hauled off and summoned to their changing rooms.
After a 20-minute delay – and a rather determined effort from the groundsmen to soak up the deluge with a sponge roller – the referee called the match off.
The two clubs will complete the game on Monday at the same venue.
