Remo Stars and Rangers International returned to winning ways on Monday, recording important victories in their Nigeria Premier Football League fixtures.
At the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, defending champions Remo Stars defeated Wikki Tourists 2–0 to halt their two-match losing streak. Despite dominating the first half, the Sky Blue Stars couldn’t find a breakthrough until the 79th minute when Adama Goita converted from Ibrahim Abubakar’s cross. Alex Oyowah sealed the win in the 90th minute, capitalising on a goalkeeper’s error.
The result lifts Daniel Ogunmodede’s men to ninth on the NPFL table with ten points from six games, reigniting their domestic campaign after a slow start.
In Enugu, Rangers International edged Katsina United 1–0 in a resumed fixture that had been suspended on Sunday due to heavy rainfall. Godwin Obaje scored the decisive goal 25 minutes into the resumed play, latching onto a low cross to give the Flying Antelopes their second win of the season.
Despite finishing the game with ten men after Jerry was sent off for a reckless tackle, Rangers held firm to secure all three points. The victory moves them from 17th to 13th on the table with eight points and a game in hand.
