Rivers United`s late goal stuns Remo Stars, while Heartland FC boosts survival hopes amid fan violence in the NPFL.

Rivers United pulled off a dramatic upset in the Nigeria Premier Football League, defeating league leaders Remo Stars 1-0. The decisive moment came in the 84th minute when Bolu Sholumade scored with a powerful header, narrowing Remo`s lead at the top of the table to just five points. This victory not only boosts Rivers United`s standing but also intensifies the race for the championship as the season approaches its climax.

In another crucial encounter, Heartland FC secured a vital 2-0 win against Kano Pillars, enhancing their chances of avoiding relegation. This victory is a significant boost for Heartland as they fight to maintain their position in the league.

However, the NPFL is facing challenges beyond the pitch, as fan violence has marred recent matches. In a troubling incident during the game between Shooting Stars and Ikorodu City, fans held the visiting team hostage and vandalized their bus. The referee had to disguise herself as a police officer to escape safely. In response, the NPFL Board has launched an investigation, reiterating their commitment to a zero-tolerance policy for unsporting conduct.
