Kwara United delivered a statement performance on Saturday, dismantling defending NPFL champions Remo Stars with a convincing 3-1 victory in their Matchday 11 clash.
The Harmony Boys wasted no time asserting their authority, dictating the tempo against the title holders. The breakthrough arrived on the half-hour mark when Junior Aimufua capitalized on a swift attack, bundling the ball in from close range to send the home crowd into raptures.
While an injury forced an early substitution for the hosts, Kwara United’s intent never wavered. They sealed the victory in a dominant second-half display:
In the 75th Minute, Babatunde Bright curled a superb free kick into the net to double the lead, while also in the 87th Minute Aimufua netted his second of the day, showing great composure to round the keeper and complete his impressive brace.
Remo Stars could only muster a late consolation goal in the 90th minute via Jabbar Malik.
Head Coach Ashifat Suleiman celebrated the crucial three points, praising his squad for their “discipline and defensive organization,” and dedicating the win to local sports awardees. The result rockets Kwara United to fifth position in the league table, setting them up perfectly for their tough upcoming double away fixtures. Junior Aimufua was rightly honored as the Man of the Match.
