Remo Stars, the reigning Nigerian champions, secured a convincing 4‑0 victory over Comoros’ US Zilimadjou on Sunday, putting them in a strong position to advance in the CAF Champions League preliminary round. In the first half, Leonard Ngenge and Ebuka Anthony each scored, setting the tone for the match. After the break, Malian striker Adama Goita and Samson Olasupo added two more goals, sealing the win for the Ikenne‑based club.
The second leg of the tie is scheduled for Friday at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. A win or a draw with a sufficient goal difference will see Remo Stars progress to the next round, where they are likely to face South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Although the team previously failed to reach the group stage of the CAF Champions League, their current performance suggests a potential turnaround in fortunes, taking a significant step toward that goal.
The CAF Champions League is an annual club competition organized by the Confederation of African Football, featuring the continent’s top clubs, with the winner earning a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup. Remo Stars’ participation underscores their growing reputation as a force in Nigerian and African football. As they prepare for the second leg, the team will aim to build on their impressive display and secure a place in the next round, keeping their sights set on the group stage and a meaningful impact in the tournament. The upcoming match against US Zilimadjou will be crucial in determining their fate.
