NPFL Super 6: Remo Stars earn first win after 2-0 demolition of Lobi Stars

They did this through a comfortable 2-0 win over Lobi Stars of Makurdi.
The second fixture of Match Day 4 had Remo Stars earning a well-deserved win at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.
Remo Stars opened the scoring early in the 18th minute as Junior Lokosa’s close range header from Ismael Sodiq’s clever assist gifted his team the first goal.
The Daniel Ogunmodede-coached team doubled the lead in the 27th minute as Olamilekan Adams curled in the ball from a perfect square pass by Seun Ogunribide.
Both teams, however, played a fair game till the last whistle as there was no urgency from Remo Stars to add to the tally.
Lobi Stars efforts at goal were curtailed by Remo Stars.
