In Uyo, 10-man Remo Stars failed to shine against Akwa United as they were defeated 3-1 by the Promise Keepers.

Remo Stars’ Andy Okpe was sent off for an infringement on defender Bolu Sholumade in the game against Akwa United.

Cyril Olisema’s spot-kick and a goal each from Uche Collins and Segun Olalere gave the Promise Keepers another convincing home victory.

Qudus Akanni scored Remo Stars’ consolation goal in the 24th minute.

Four minutes into the game, Remo Stars’ Vincent Edafe gave away a penalty to the hosts after he infringed Moses Effiong in the box.

The spot kick was then converted by Cyril Olisema a minute later with a shot that went past Edafe.

The hosts trying to get their second goal in the game forced Edafe to a save and another effort from Effiong went off target in the 11th minute.

Four minutes later, Jean Efala parried Seun Ogunribide’s cross to safety before the goalkeeper further saved Andy Okpe’s shot in the 18th minute.

Abubakar Aliyu’s strike in the 47th minute gave Wikki Tourists their first win of the season. Despite the victory, the Elephants are still in the 10th position with four points.
