Remo Stars shoot 5 points clear at top of NPFL

by

Remo Stars are now five points clear at the top of the NPFL table after they ended an eight-year losing run at Akwa United courtesy of a 2-1 win.

Former Flying Eagles striker Adedayo Olamilekan was the match winner in the 84th minute for Remo Stars, who fought back to win in Uyo.

Rivers United remain in second place on 34 points even after they lost 2-1 at Plateau United, while third-placed Shooting Stars are a point behind with a game in hand.

It promises to a battle to the end in the relegation dog fight as bottom team Nasarawa United stopped Katsina United 1-0 to give hope they could still escape the dreaded drop.

Lobi Stars remain in the drop zone after they fell by the odd goal at Heartland, while Bendel Insurance remain in the danger zone with 21 points from 19 matches.

The likes of Katsina United, Plateau United and Kwara United are also not far away from danger as the second round of the championship began.
