Shooting Stars gaffer, Gbenga Ogunbote has hailed the determination of his players in the 2-1 home win over Akwa United, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Oluyole Warriors recorded back-to-back home victories in a match day nine NPFL clash after a 1-0 win against Katsina United last time out at Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan.

Speaking with the media, Ogunbote acknowledged the need for synergy among his players towards ensuring a more improved outing.

"It’s beyond just having a team. When you have players who want to play for you, they will give it their all, and you will get good results. They must also tell themselves, No matter the situation, head or tail, we must win.

 "It’s the determination of every player that brings about a win. Some lose chances because of anxiety. They may be unable to control their emotions, and that would rob their team of opportunities.

"However, it’s good when the synergy comes gradually. The moment we have that, we’ll be able to have more goal-scoring opportunities on our side.

"By the time the synergy becomes top-notch, we can note that, even when we close our eyes, the opportunities will be created and converted."
