Shooting Stars started their outing in the NPFL sanctioned preseason tournament Super Cup organised by the Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation on an emphatic win.
The Oluyole Boys trounced the Benin Arsenal by three goals to nil at the Remo Stars Stadium on Tuesday.
First half goal by Anthony Okachi and late second half goals by Taofeek Malomo and Samuel Ayorinde condemned Insurance to defeat.
Okachi had put 3SC ahead after a well worked counter attack through an assist by Joshua Akpan in the 25th minute.
The half ended that way despite Insurance's push for an equaliser.
However, the Benin Boys would later rue missed chances in the second half after Malomo scored the second for 3SC.
Ayorinde added salt to injury after scoring the third at additional time to put the game beyond Insurance.
Shooting Stars Cletus Emotan was adjudged the Most Valuable Player in the match against Shooting Stars.
Insurance play Enyimba next on Wednesday in their next game.
