NPFL: Remo Stars pips Wikki Tourists

Sampson Adedeji

Reigning Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Remo Stars, continue their title defense with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Wikki Tourists on Monday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Sky Blue Stars took control of the game early on and broke the deadlock through a well-taken effort before sealing the win late in the encounter.

As Wikki pushed for an equalizer, Remo Stars doubled their advantage in the 90th minute through Alex Oyowah, who pounced on a goalkeeping blunder from Chizoba Okoh.

The Wikki shot-stopper failed to deal with Chilekwu’s free kick, allowing Oyowah to slot home from close range.

The result gives Daniel Ogunmodede’s men a strong start to the new campaign as they look to defend their NPFL crown, while Wikki Tourists will aim to bounce back in their next fixture.
