NPFL: “Controversial” penalty mars Oriental Derby as Remo Stars suffer blow in title race

A “controversial” penalty deep into stoppage time marred what could have been a memorable day for the Nigeria Premier Football League on Sunday.

The Oriental Derby between Rangers and Enyimba had dominated discussions all week long in the Nigerian football space despite the Super Eagles also being in action for the World Cup qualifiers.

Aside from the banter between the two teams, fans, more than ever, were also getting excited, and they were all looking forward to an epic clash at the 20,000-seater Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium fondly called the Cathedral.
