Remo Stars remain unbeaten in NPFL

Enyimba returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over struggling Akwa United in their week eight fixture in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

Newcomer Remo stars extended their unbeaten run to eight in their goalless draw against Enugu rangers.

Tosin Omoyele put the People’s Elephant in front in the 27th minute which proved to be the game decider.

The victory is Enyimba’s fourth of the season, as they move to fourth on the league table, while Akwa United drop to ninth position, with their third loss.

At the FC Ifeanyiubah stadium in Nnewi, Rangers failed to score despite having nine shots on target as Remo Stars’ fairy-tale start to the season continued.

The result means they’ve moved level on points with Rivers United but the latter are top of the table with a superior goals difference.

At the Lekan Salami stadium in Ibadan, Ebenezer Odeyemi scored a 97th minute goal to hand Shooting Stars a 2-1 win over Kwara United.

The game was stopped in the 70th minute for a minute to pay respect to 3SC’s former general manager Rasheed Balogun, who passed away last Thursday.
