With a commanding seven-point lead at the top and only 12 points left to play for, Remo Stars will be crowned champions if they defeat Niger Tornadoes in their next match — a potential title-winning fixture on home soil.
At the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano Pillars played spoilers to Rivers United’s title hopes. Former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa opened the scoring in the 64th minute, and Rabiu Ali doubled the lead with a composed penalty in the 75th minute, sealing a vital win for the Kano side — and handing Remo a golden opportunity.
All eyes now shift to Ikenne this weekend, where Remo Stars could complete their fairytale season with a historic victory against Niger Tornadoes — a win that would write their name into the NPFL history books.
