Remo Stars beat Enyimba 1-0 to boost their chances of playing on the continent next season.

The Sky Blue hosted the Aba Elephants at the Ikenne Stadium for the match day biggest clash this weekend.

It was a keenly contested game, but January signing Sikiru Alimi netted the decider few minutes before the end of the first half.

The forward finished beautifully from inside the visitors’ box – for his 7th goal of the season – off Ifegwu Ojukwu’s assist.

Following the victory, the Gbenga Ogunbote side have now opened three points lead ahead of Enyimba who slipped to sixth.

Meanwhile Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro was in Ikenne to watch the Remo the game.
