The small margins put Remo Stars out
Out, 0‑0 to Niger Tornadoes, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Alladoum Kolimba decides it from twelve yards

No sign of nerves from Adama Goïta at 20 — 8.19
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Adama Goïta did not need any: 8.19, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Jérôme Bonou hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Remo Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

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.

Nothing got past Ahmed Akinyele
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Olamilekan Adedayo 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.

Remo Stars supporters have found a favourite in Biola Sabitu
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Biola Sabitu 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.
