Player ratings

Both of them Adama Goïta's — 9.25

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.25, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Not going: Joseph Abah stays at Remo Stars

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” El-Kanemi Warriors had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Remo Stars turn down Great Olympics for Odunsi Sunday

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Antonio Galeano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Antonio Galeano and Remo Stars agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Remo Stars

Samuel Anakwe was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Remo Stars see off Katsina United

Three points for Remo Stars, 4‑3 the final word against Katsina United in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

7 goals as Remo Stars and Katsina United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Remo Stars and Katsina United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Samuel Anakwe

Marked 9.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Odunsi Sunday

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Azeez Agboola, 20, steals the show — 7.81

Marked 7.81 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Isloch come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Remo Stars did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Samuel Anakwe signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Samuel Anakwe commits to Remo Stars for another 4 years.

Squad

Samuel Anakwe in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Remo Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Antonio Galeano falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Remo Stars find a way past Kun Khalifat

Kun Khalifat made Remo Stars work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Remo Stars supporters have found a favourite in Adama Goïta

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Adama Goïta has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Eyes on Joseph Abah again

The phone has started ringing about Joseph Abah again, and this time the name on the line is El-Kanemi Warriors. Remo Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Antonio Galeano was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.20. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
