NPFL Roundup: Sporting, Rangers claim big wins as Remo Stars stumble again
The NPFL witnessed an action-packed Sunday with Sporting Lagos and Enugu Rangers registering key wins while Remo Stars lost another derby.
Olamilekan Adebayo netted in the 81st minute following a 16-pass move - Remo's longest sequence leading to a goal this season.
The striker's calm finish came at the end of a meticulously constructed attacking phase, underlining Remo's commitment to playing out from the back.
Haruna Seals Win Late On for Remo
Any doubt over the three points was removed seven minutes later as Hadi Haruna made it 2-0 with a late strike to seal all three points for the hosts.
The victory lifts Remo Stars back into third place in the NPFL standings on 45 points, just three behind leaders Enugu Rangers, as the title race hots up.

For Bendel Insurance, it was a case of ruing missed opportunities as they struggled to recover once Remo had their noses in front in Ikenne.
Remo's Possession Football Pays Off
The Sky Blues' coach Daniel Ogunmodede deserves credit for persisting with his possession-based philosophy.

While their patient build-up play can sometimes appear overly intricate, the way Remo meticulously carved out the opener illustrated the value of keeping the ball.
With one of the league's tightest defences and an increasing cutting edge in attack, Remo are shaping up as serious title contenders this season.
Next up is a challenging trip to face bottom club Gombe United, but on this evidence, Ogunmodede's side should back themselves to claim another positive result on Tuesday.
