Enterprising midfielder, Moses Omoduemeke, combined well with Lucky Moses to give Shooting Stars the lead in the 14th minute. Shooting Stars had one of their best evenings in their return to the NPFL yesterday when they beat Enyimba 2-0. Plateau are still within distance to Rivers with 51 points from 25 games. Remo rallied late in the game with moments of dominance, but the host held on to secure the match points. Free-scoring defender, Ibrahim Buhari, rose highest to prod home from Akila JesseвЂ™s cross for his fourth goal of the season. Whatever Fidelis Ilechukwu told his boys in the dugout worked for them, as they used it to raid RemoвЂ™s defence to earn the lone goal in the 55th minute. Plateau United dominated for most part of the first half, but met a strong Remo StarsвЂ™ rear line with calculative goalkeeper in Kayode Bankole, who thwarted their efforts.

The hosts could have taken the lead within the opening five minutes but Jesse AkilaвЂ™s goal was chalked off for offside after the referee had spotted an infringement in the build up to the goal. In Jos, Plateau United kept the chase on leaders, Rivers United, close following a hard earned 1-0 win over Remo Stars, thanks to a second half header from Ibrahim Buhari.

The victory meant Rivers United retained their top position on the log with 55 points after 25 league games. With 10 minutes to end the game, substitute Konan Ruffin Ngouan made quick impact to put the icing on the cake for the leaders as he stabbed home RiversвЂ™ third when he was released by Nelson Esor in TornadoesвЂ™ box. Rivers doubled their lead two minutes after as Nwagua Nyima tapped in a low cross from Chijioke Akuneto following a spill by TornadoesвЂ™ keeper in the box. League top scorer, Ishaq Kayode, put Rivers United in front a minute after the hour mark as he converted a through pass from Maurice Chukwu with a chip over Lucky Jimoh. While Rivers had it rosy to take out Niger Tornadoes in Port Harcourt, Plateau United laboured to claim maximum points against continental hopeful, Remo Stars. Pick of the matches yesterday were the ones involving title-chasing Rivers United and Plateau United, where both teams recorded victories. The fixtures, which commenced on Sunday with three games that ended in victories for home teams, had a near similar scenario yesterday from the four centres, except in Kaduna.
