The match started in Remo Stars' favor, with Alex Oyowah breaking the deadlock in the ninth minute. He capitalized on a precise cross from Sikiru Alimi to head home the opening goal. The visitors doubled their lead in the 33rd minute when captain Nduka Junior set up Ibrahim Abubakar, who calmly lobbed the ball over goalkeeper Ishola Abdulatif. Sunshine Stars struggled to create clear-cut chances but managed to pull one back in the 67th minute through Matthew Samuel’s well-taken strike.
Despite Sunshine Stars’ late push, Remo Stars maintained their defensive discipline to secure all three points. This win adds to their growing dominance, having already completed double victories over Akwa United, Abia Warriors, and now Sunshine Stars. If they defeat Kano Pillars in their next fixture, they will achieve their fourth league double of the season, further establishing themselves as the team to beat.
