Island All Stars asserted their authority early in the contest. Uche Ifemuludike opened the scoring in the 7th minute, powering home a header to give his side a deserved lead.
Chibuike had the opportunity to extend the advantage from the penalty spot but was denied after the goalkeeper dived sharply to his left to make an impressive save.
The forward, however, responded emphatically in the second half. Within five minutes of the restart, Chibuike found the net with a composed left-footed finish inside the box after being set up by Ifemuludike, doubling Island All Stars’ lead.
He completed his brace in the 73rd minute, sealing a comprehensive 3–0 victory and ensuring the Super Cup trophy remained firmly in Island All Stars’ hands.
The emphatic win sends a strong message ahead of the new campaign, as Island All Stars begin the season in commanding fashion.
