2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 18: Remo Stars FC bags two late goals to dispatch stubborn Bayelsa United

Posted : 22 December 2024

Second-placed Remo Stars FC on Sunday left it late in the second half of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 18 to dispatch a stubborn Bayelsa United FC in Ikenne.


The Sky Blue Stars, trailing league leaders Rivers United FC by just one point but with the same number of games played, have now been able to dislodge the Pride of Rivers.


Prior to the game, both teams needed the vital win and a favorable result to remain in contention in what is becoming an intense title race.


The game in Ikenne seemed destined for a stalemate as Bayelsa United defended brilliantly to keep the hosts from scoring.


However, the strength in depth of Remo was showcased as two substitutes, Haruna Hadi and Jabbar Malik, combined to give the home side the lead in the 84th minute, courtesy of Malik’s powerful header into the back of the net.


Jabbar Malik then doubled the hosts' lead just five minutes later to seal the win for Remo Stars and take them back to the top of the table.


Despite their many absentees, Remo Stars managed to grind out another win at home, extending their unbeaten run at Ikenne this season to nine games.
