The drama associated with keenly contested leagues unfolded on Sunday as the Nigeria Premier League for the 2023/24 season came to an end.


Though the league champions, Enugu Rangers, had emerged a week earlier, there was still much at stake for the other teams.


As expected, there was drama on the final matchday. Remo Stars did not have it easy as visiting Katsina United gave them a run for their money in a fiercely contested match that Remo Stars won 2-1 in Ikenne.


The scoreline cemented their second position and secured them a ticket to the CAF Champions League.


This marks the third consecutive time the Boys from Ikenne have achieved this feat.


For Shooting Stars, who had their best run since the 1998 season, it was close but no cigar.


They were on the verge of finishing third after their 1-0 defeat of the now relegated Sporting Lagos. However, their victory proved in vain as another match in Aba involving Enyimba and Plateau United altered the final standings.


With the scoreline still 0-0 in Aba, Shooting Stars had the advantage. However, like the strong elephant they are, Enyimba fought harder and scored two goals in the last 12 minutes of their encounter to surpass Shooting Stars and secure a CAF Confederation Cup ticket.


While the battle at the top of the table was fierce, the same was true at the lower end.


Lagos's flamboyant side, Sporting Lagos, crumbled to a 1-0 defeat in Ibadan and were relegated, while Akwa United and Bayelsa United struggled to avoid the drop.
