Giwa FC Picks Point At Sharks

An inconsistent Sharks side was wasteful in front of goal as they were held to a 1-1 draw against giant-killing Giwa FC in Port Harcourt.

Sharks dominated possession and went in front through Yusuf Jaiyeola's effort before Charles Henlong rescued a point for the Jos Elephants from the penalty spot.

The Blue Angels could not force a winner and sit in the dreaded relegation zone.

The technical crew of Sharks wanted a larger share of the ball before the match underway and the Blue Angels obliged with 66% of possession in the game.

However, against a fearless Giwa side, their dominance did not lead to the much needed three points

In the second minute, Jackson Daniel tried to lob Friday Achimugwu but his touch was poor and the in-form goalie claimed the ball, while Chiamaka Madu tested the keeper with a 30-metre strike.

The hosts drew the curtain raiser 13 minutes into the match. Yusuf Jaiyeola headed home from Fred Obomote's corner kick.

Giwa FC earned a 30th minute penalty after Moses Awala handled the ball in the box,

And captain Charles Henlong got his execution right as he netted his team's equalizer with the spot-kick.

Nojeem Raji and Ocheme Edoh had chances to win the game for the visitors.

Sharks tried to force a late winner, but Giwa held out for a precious away point after the setback of playing a draw against FC Taraba on Sunday.
