The NPFL (Nigeria Premier Football League) kicked off another thrilling week as the matchday 14 action lit up pitches across Nigeria. Fans gathered in droves in Ikenne as the highly anticipated clash between Remo Stars and Shooting Stars captivated the audience. This marked their 11th encounter, and the stakes couldn't have been higher. In a mesmerizing display of skill, determination and home advantage, Remo Stars defended their turf with a stunning 2-0 victory, thanks to the dynamic duo of Sikiru Alimi and Olamilekan Adedayo, who secured Remo Stars' supremacy in the South West derby. The excitement in Ikenne was palpable, as fans celebrated yet another impressive performance from their team.
Meanwhile, as the dust settled on Ikenne, other teams were making headlines around the league. Abia Warriors, Akwa United, and Bayelsa United showcased their prowess over the weekend, giving football enthusiasts a matchday that they will not forget anytime soon. Not to be overlooked, the NPFL Player of the Week, Emmanuel Ogbole of Kwara United, walked away with accolades after scoring a stunning header, assisted by Abdulraheem Shola. With seven goals in his last seven matches, he has firmly established himself as one of the league's hottest strikers, keeping defenders on their toes.
In another part of the country, Enugu Rangers did not disappoint their loyal fans. They drubbed the Lobi Stars with a significant 3-0 victory to affirm their intent in the league. Hoping to grasp at victory, the Lobi Stars were left scrambling for answers as Super Eagles home-based invitee, Ambrose Igboke, showcased impeccable talent by firing shots from just outside the 18-yard box. Coach Ekeh Ekenedilichukwu faced tough criticism earlier in the season, but with this performance, his reassurance that the Rangers are still a work in progress is beginning to look well-founded.
