Nigerian Balotelli sinks Giwa in memorable debut

Gbolahan Salami scored two goals for Warri Wolves, who cruised to a 2-0 victory over newcomers Giwa FC in a week 5 Globacom Nigeria Premier League match played at the Warri City Stadium on Sunday.

 
It was a dream debut as the 22-year-old forward put the 2013 Nigeria Football Federation Cup runners-up ahead in the 43rd minute before doubling the scoring one minute after resumption time.
 
The Nigerian Balotelli continued to bolster his Super Eagles' credentials with a fantastic display to rip the Abdullahi Biffo led team apart in front of the appreciative Warri fans, who thronged the match venue to support their darling team to victory.
 
Wolves made a whirlwind performance, scoring at the right time as the team responded to coach Paul Aigbogun's calls for greater intensity in their pressing game and a more direct approach.
 
A limp display from the visitors, under coach Biffo, could only look to a string of saves from goalkeeper Ojo Olorunleke as any sort of positive.
 
The win has helped Wolves to move to  mid-table status on the log and are five points behind leaders Akwa United.
