Rivers United aims for the NPFL title, trailing Remo Stars, after a crucial win against Sunshine Stars.

Rivers United remains focused on clinching the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title, despite trailing leaders Remo Stars by seven points with only four matches remaining. In their recent match-day 34 clash, Rivers United secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Sunshine Stars, thanks to a late goal from Abba Sulaiman in the 83rd minute. However, their efforts to narrow the gap were thwarted as Remo Stars also claimed a 1-0 win against Shooting Stars (3SC).

The upcoming away game against Kano Pillars is pivotal for Rivers United, as they must secure a win or at least avoid defeat to keep their championship hopes alive. Meanwhile, Remo Stars could potentially seal the title with a win against Niger Tornadoes in their next fixture. Rivers United`s coach, Finidi George, expressed optimism about the remaining 12 points available and highlighted the advantage of having two home matches left in the season. He commended Sunshine Stars for their disciplined performance, despite the loss.

With the current standings placing Remo Stars at the top and Rivers United in second, the competition for the NPFL crown is heating up as the season approaches its climax. Abba Sulaiman`s decisive goal and Finidi George`s leadership are key factors in Rivers United`s ongoing campaign.
