After a goalless opening half, it was the home side who opened the scoring when Saidu Salisu put them 1-0 ahead.

The goal lasted just 11 minutes before second half substitute Olamilekan gave the Sky Blues a deserved equaliser with nine minutes to go.

Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede will be happy with his team's newly found form.

Six minutes later, it was the visitors who stole all the points as another Lekan, this time, Olalekan, with the winner to break the hearts of the home fans.

The victory was the first for Daniel Ogunmodede and his Sky Blues in Jos and sees them move up to second place in Group A with just a game left to play.
