Remo Stars’ 2-1 victory over Enyimba has given the team a psychological boost, according to stand-in coach Sulaimon Kamil, who described the win as crucial for both morale and confidence.

Kamil praised Victor Mbaoma for his leadership and decisive contributions, scoring both goals for the hosts and guiding the team on and off the pitch.

“Getting these three points against Enyimba, a tough challenge, is very good for us. It’s exactly what we needed,” Kamil said, stressing the importance of taking each match one at a time.

Remo opened the scoring in the third minute, Enyimba equalised in the 32nd via Ezekiel Edidiong, but Mbaoma restored the lead before half-time, which proved decisive despite a tense second half.

The win lifted Remo Stars from 13th to 9th, while Enyimba dropped to 12th, reflecting the competitive nature of the Nigeria Premier Football League this season.
