Naija Super 8: Remo Stars' James bullies NPFL winners Enyimba 8 hours after unveiling
NPFL Champions Enyimba International can't seem to find a solution to their nemesis Remo Stars following a shaky start to their Naija Super 8 campaign.
Here are excerpts from the last time I watched the team coached by a former NPFL winner, Usman Abdullah, against northern rivals, Kano Pillars.
Katsina Build-up
Katsina players look quite comfortable and confident on the ball. In the 17th minute, the players combined to create the first chance that led to a great save from Kano Pillars goalkeeper, Oshua Enaholo.

The build-up, as was the case throughout the encounter, was lovely, with four players involved in that. There was a beautiful ball-carrying before a lofted pass that was met by Yahaya Nazifi’s well-struck volley.
