NPFL Roundup: Remo Stars Reclaim Top Spot

Remo Stars have reclaimed the top spot in the Nigerian Professional Football League NPFL after a hard fought 1-0 home win over Bendel Insurance. The victory, secured by Ghanaian forward Dela Akorliโ€™s 43rd minute goal, pushed Remo Stars to 18 points from eight matches. However, their position at the top is provisional, as Rivers United, with 17 points, are set to play Niger Tornadoes next.

In other NPFL action, Sunshine Stars moved up to fourth place with a 1-0 home victory over Nasarawa United, thanks to Opeoluwa Olufemiโ€™s 17th minute goal. Elsewhere, title contenders Enyimba and Plateau United stumbled, both losing away from home. Enyimba suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of El Kanemi Warriors, while Plateau United were beaten 3-1 by Abia Warriors.

Bayelsa United escaped the relegation zone with a narrow 1-0 win over Heartland FC, and Kano Pillars came from behind to draw 1-1 with Kwara United after a strong showing the previous weekend.
