September 14, (THEWILL) – Remo Stars earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sunshine Stars in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), on Saturday. The decisive moment came in the 7th minute when Abubakar Ibrahim Babawo, found the back of the net, sealing three points for the hosts. This result extended Remo Stars’ perfect start to the season with two wins from two matches.
Despite some moments of pressure from Sunshine Stars, the home side maintained a solid defensive performance to keep a clean sheet. Sunshine Stars, who had won their opening match 3-0, struggled to break down Remo Stars’ defence and were unable to find an equaliser before the final whistle.
Babawo’s goal proved to be the highlight of a closely contested match that saw both teams have their share of possession. With this win, Remo Stars sit atop the NPFL table, demonstrating a strong early-season form, while Sunshine Stars remain on three points.
This result marks a second consecutive win for Remo Stars, having previously defeated Abia Warriors 2-0. On the other hand, Sunshine Stars will look to bounce back in their next fixture after suffering their first defeat of the new campaign.
The match further strengthens Remo Stars’ push for a strong showing in this season’s NPFL and the team’s fans will hope this momentum carries them through upcoming challenges.
