Nigerian giants Enyimba FC, owned by Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu, suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to NPFL league leaders Remo Stars in their recent away trip. The loss marked Enyimba’s third consecutive game without a win, while Remo Stars strengthened their position at the top of the table.
Remo Stars took advantage of Enyimba’s struggles, scoring goals in either half through Olamilekan Adebayo and Samson Olasupo. Despite dominating possession, Enyimba failed to capitalize on their chances, attempting 12 shots to Remo’s 13.
The defeat leaves Enyimba in ninth place on the NPFL table, with just two points from their last three matches. Meanwhile, Remo Stars extended their lead to eight points, with a game in hand.
Kanu’s Enyimba faces increasing pressure to turn their campaign around, while Remo Stars’ victory reinforces their title credentials. The Sky Blues’ blend of resilience and firepower keeps them firmly ahead of the pack, with Enyimba’s hopes of climbing back into the NPFL’s upper echelons fading.
