The Solid Miners suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss on the road against the hosts, Remo Stars, at their stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State, during the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League match-day six tie on Sunday evening.
It’s a result that the team will quickly overlook as they look forward to their next game.
After going into the break with the scoreline at nil-nil, Remo Stars came out stronger in the second half, scoring three unanswered goals within seventeen minutes, leaving Nasarawa United struggling to catch up.
While the scoreline—courtesy of goals from Sikiru Alimi, Stanley Joseph, and Ismail Sodiq—does not reflect it, United showed moments of brilliance and resilience, creating scoring opportunities that Umar Ibrahim and Terdoo Shimagande were unable to capitalize on.
In defense, the Solid Miners faced significant pressure, with the Sky Blues, as Remo Stars are nicknamed, taking advantage to convert their counter-attacking threats.
Technical Director Kabir Dogo, while crediting Remo Stars for the win, stated that this loss will not define the season for the team. He emphasized that they will regroup, analyze their weak points, and come back stronger.
"The team's spirit remains unbroken, and we are eager to put this setback behind us as quickly as possible.
"We will focus on our upcoming home game on the midweek of October 16, 2024, against Abia Warriors, where we will aim to regain our momentum and get back to winning ways.
"The game is just three days from today, and we are mapping out strategies ahead of it. We will work on our tactics, make adjustments, and ensure we are ready to take on the challenge.
"The continued support of our supporters and fans means the world to us, and we cannot wait to get back on the pitch and make them proud."
Sunday's result sees United dropping to 13th position after six games, with six points, while Remo Stars move to the summit with fifteen points from the same number of games.
