The results of the weekend showed both encouraging performances and unforeseen difficulties, influencing the league dynamics as clubs go closer to the end of the NPFL season.
Despite suffering a setback with a goalless draw against Katsina United, Remo Stars are still leading the NPFL table. Together with Rivers United’s loss, this outcome keeps the title race open and challenging for other candidates.
