The striker of Remo Stars Sikiru Alimi has said the victory over Sporting Lagos means a lot to them, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Alimi netted the winning goal in the keenly contested encounter at the Remo Stars stadium in Ikenne.

The lanky attacker refused to see the game as a rivalry but laid more emphasis on the outcome of the game.

"The win means so much because it's a South West derby, a new one.

"The new cats came to prove a lot, it was a very intense game and I give it to them."

 "I won't say it's a rivalry per se, we all know it's a new club making her debut in the NPFL and trying to rob shoulders with the big boys.

"But, it can be tagged a rivalry if the consistency is kept over a few years", he said.

Remo Stars will face Enyimba International in their next league match.
