Nigeria Premier Football League leaders Remo Stars held on to their eight-point advantage at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over former champions Enyimba in Ikenne on Thursday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Olamilekan Adedayo and Samson Olasupo scored in either half to secure the 19th win of the season for Daniel Ogunmodede’s side on his return from international duty with the Super Eagles.
Like he did during their last game before the international break, Adedayo opened the scoring for the Ikenne side after 28 minutes while mid-season signing, Olasupo, continued to justify his addition by doubling the advantage in the 68th minute with his third goal of the campaign.
The Sky Blue Stars now have 60 points after 30 games this season, and they could extend their eight-point lead ahead of Rivers United by the time they play their outstanding fixture against struggling Lobi Stars.
Meanwhile, Enyimba’s resurging ambition of picking a continental ticket in the league has been halted again having failed to win any of their last three games.
The defeat in Ikenne saw them drop to the ninth position on the log with 43 points after 31 games.
In Uyo, Akwa United moved out of the relegation zone after a 2-0 over Niger Tornadoes just as Plateau United also continued to steer clear of the drop with a crucial 1-0 win over reigning champions Rangers International in Enugu.
