2025/2026 CAF Champions League: Remo Stars Begin Campaign in Style

Posted : 22 September 2025

Nigerian league champions Remo Stars FC of Ikenne began their 2025/2026 CAF Champions League campaign in emphatic fashion, cruising past US Zilimadjou 4-0 in the preliminary round first-leg clash on Sunday at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta.

 

The Sky Blue Stars were ruthless on home soil, with goals from Leonard Ngenge, Ebuka Anthony, Adama Goita, and Samson Olasupo sealing a comfortable win for Daniel Ogunmodede’s side.

 

Remo Stars set the tone early by pressing high and creating chances. Joseph Abah fired over the bar before debutant Ngenge pounced on a loose ball in the box to open the scoring in the 12th minute.

 

Just before halftime, a clever free-kick routine doubled their advantage. Abubakar Ibrahim’s disguised delivery found Chilekwu Chigozie, who squared across goal for Ebuka Anthony to tap in from close range.

 

The visitors offered little threat and rarely tested Remo goalkeeper Adeniyi Obassa.

 

After the restart, Ogunmodede’s substitutions added more firepower. Haruna Hadi combined with Adama Goita, who headed in Ibrahim’s delightful cross in the 70th minute for 3-0.

 

The victory was capped late on when substitute Samson Olasupo latched onto Hadi’s pass and calmly slotted home the fourth.

 

With the emphatic win, the NPFL champions hold a commanding advantage ahead of the return leg, also scheduled for Abeokuta on Friday. The aggregate winner will face South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns in the final qualifying round.
