Shooting Stars goalkeeper, Mustapha Lawal, says the team will be up for battle in the second half of the season.

The Oluyole Warriors recovered from their poor start to finish the first half of the season strongly.

Gbenga Ogunbote’s side are unbeaten in their last five league outings.

The former Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions currently occupy third position on the log.

Lawal is anticipating a more difficult test when the league resumes later this month.

“We expect a more challenging second round, but we will be ready to give it all it takes,” he told the club’s media.

“Sure, there will be more challenges for us in the second round, but we will also be well prepared for it, and I believe God will see us through.”
