March 02, (THEWILL) – Remo Stars claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Bayelsa United in a tightly contested Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) match played on Saturday at the Remo Stars Stadium.
The win sees the hosts maintain their position at the top of the league table, while Bayelsa United remain in 14th place. The only goal of the match came in the 72nd-minute through Adams Olamilekan. Both teams fought hard throughout the encounter, with the visitors unable to convert their chances in the second half to level the scores.
Remo Stars thereafter held their defensive line strong, denying Bayelsa United further clear opportunities to equalise. This win comes after Remo Stars were held to a goalless draw against Abia Warriors and their narrow 1-nil loss to Enugu Rangers. Meanwhile, Bayelsa United have had their run of three wins ended.
The result further strengthens Remo Stars’ hopes of finishing the season in a continental qualification spot, while Bayelsa United will be looking to turn their form around again in their upcoming fixtures.
