Olamilekan Adedayo etched his name into Remo Stars history on Sunday evening, scoring a stunning late winner that secured the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League title — the club’s first ever — with three games to spare.
The 23-year-old midfielder, introduced in the second half, produced a moment of magic in the 84th minute. With the match still goalless and tension mounting, Adedayo fired a powerful shot from outside the box past Niger Tornadoes goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo, sparking wild celebrations among the Sky Blue Stars faithful.
Remo Stars had dominated from the outset, with Alex Oyowah seeing an early goal ruled out for offside and further chances falling to Nduka Junior, Sikiru Alimi, and Bello Babatunde. Despite their pressure, the first half ended goalless.
The second half saw Oyowah hit the crossbar and force multiple saves, but the breakthrough remained elusive until the introduction of fresh legs, including Adedayo, shifted the momentum.
After Haruna Hadi missed a clear opportunity, Adedayo stepped up with the decisive strike that secured a 1-0 victory and sealed the club’s historic title triumph.
The goal capped an outstanding season for Adedayo, who now has six goals and one assist in 30 appearances. His unforgettable strike will be remembered as the moment that crowned Remo Stars’ season of dreams — and a defining chapter in Nigerian football history.
