NPFL Matchday 32: Rivers United Close Gap on Leaders, Relegation Battle Intensifies.

Matchday 32 in the NPFL didn’t disappoint, as it delivered lots of action.

Rivers United beat the league leaders Remo Stars 1-0 to close the gap at the top of the table to five points. The Southwest derby between Shooting Stars and Ikorodu City ended goalless. Ikorodu City sits in 6th place, four points behind the automatic continental spot, with a game in hand.

At the bottom end of the table, the clash between the two lowest-ranked teams—Sunshine Stars and Lobi Stars—ended in a 1-1 draw. The result feels like a defeat for Sunshine Stars, as a win would have significantly  helped them in their fight to retain their top flight status.
