2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 17: Bayelsa United Shock Defending Champions Remo Stars in Yenagoa

Posted : 15 December 2025

Defending champions Remo Stars FC endured another setback in their turbulent 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign on Matchday 17, suffering a 2–1 defeat to Bayelsa United FC at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa.

The Sky Blue Stars began the encounter strongly, appearing poised to halt their poor form when veteran striker Victor Mbaoma gave them an early lead in the 14th minute, capitalising on their initial dominance to silence the home supporters.

However, Bayelsa United gradually grew in confidence and began to take control of the match. Their persistence paid off in the 59th minute when Fabby Clark levelled the score, before Emo James completed the turnaround five minutes later with a decisive strike that secured all three points for the Prosperity Boys.

Despite late efforts from Daniel Ogunmodede’s side to find an equaliser, Remo Stars were unable to break down Bayelsa United’s organised defence, marking their ninth defeat of the season. The loss highlights the reigning champions’ ongoing defensive struggles and inconsistency throughout the campaign.

Following the defeat, Remo Stars sit 11th on the NPFL table with 22 points from 17 matches, recording seven wins, one draw, and nine losses—a worrying return for the defending champions.

Bayelsa United, meanwhile, climbed to 10th place with 23 points from 17 games, with six wins, five draws, and six losses. The victory strengthens their mid-table push and underscores their growing resilience, particularly on home soil.
