Ex-super Eagles Coach Keeps Npfl Title Hopes Alive As Remo Stars, Rivers United Set For Thrilling Finale

Rivers United coach Finidi George has refused to throw in the towel with the Port Harcourt-based club trailing leaders Remo Stars heading to the final six games of the 2024-2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season, Soccernet.ng reports .

The ex-Ajax winger guided Rivers United to a crucial 1-0 victory over Remo Stars in Port Harcourt on Sunday, cutting the gap between the two title-chasing teams to five points.

Bolu Sholumades 84th-minute header proved decisive in a tightly contested encounter at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.

The defender rose highest to nod home a cross from Taiwo Abdulrafiu - both players formerly of Sunshine Stars - in what could prove a pivotal moment in the title race.

It was a first defeat in three games for Daniel Ogunmodede's Remo Stars , whose impressive season has them dreaming of becoming the first privately-owned club in over a decade to win the NPFL crown.
