Remo Stars Regain NPFL Lead, 3SC Stun Rangers

The weekend saw significant shifts in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) standings, with Remo Stars FC reclaiming the top spot and Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) pulling off a notable upset.

Remo Stars FC returned to the apex position with a convincing 2-0 home win over Bayelsa United at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne. The decisive goals came from Jabbar Malik, who scored in the 84th and 88th minutes, securing the three points and taking Remo Stars to 33 points from 18 games. This victory, comprising 10 wins, three draws, and five losses, has Remo Stars ahead of title rivals Rivers United on goal difference.

In another pivotal match, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) stunned Rangers International FC with a 0-1 victory in Enugu. Ikouwem Udo's 28th-minute goal was the difference-maker, helping 3SC leapfrog Rangers into the third position. 3SC now has 30 points from 18 games, with nine wins, three draws, and six losses.

Rivers United, despite drawing 1-1 with Nasarawa United, dropped to second place. Kabiru Abdullahiā€™s 50th-minute penalty kick saved Rivers United from a loss, but it was not enough to maintain their lead.

Other notable results include Abia Warriors beating Ikorodu City 2-0, Kwara United defeating Katsina United 1-0, and Bendel Insurance winning 1-0 against Lobi Stars. Kano Pillars also secured a 2-1 victory over Niger Tornadoes, and Sunshine Stars beat El-Kanemi Warriors 1-0.
