In a challenging matchup for the defending champions of the Nigeria Premier Football League, Remo Stars encountered a disappointing defeat against Wikki Tourists, with a final score of 2-1. The game, played at the New Jos Stadium, saw Remo Stars struggle to maintain consistency as they fell behind early, with Jonathan Mairiga scoring for Wikki in the 10th minute. As the first half drew to a close, Hassan Musa further solidified Wikki's lead by netting a second goal in the added time of the first half.

Despite a late effort by Remo Stars to turn the game around, with Samson Olasupo scoring in the 82nd minute, the team was unable to equalize. Wikki Tourists, who are temporarily playing in Jos due to fan-related issues at their home ground, capitalized on the situation and maintained their advantage throughout the second half. Remo's goalkeeper, Alladoum Kolimba, was notable for making several crucial saves, which kept the match competitive even when his team was struggling offensively.

On a positive note for Barau FC, they continued their unbeaten streak with a goalless draw against Warri Wolves in another match held in Ozoro. This result reflects Barau’s recent resurgence in form, marking a significant improvement in their league standing. The matches on Saturday echoed the unpredictable nature of the league as teams vie for supremacy and improved performances as the season progresses.
