NPFL Roundup: Amunike’s Heartland suffer another defeat, Remo Stars win “Oduduwa Derby”

Emmanuel Amunike’s struggles in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) continued as his side, Heartland FC, lost 3-1 to Rivers United in Port Harcourt on Saturday.

This is the second consecutive 3-1 loss for the former African Footballer of the Year, who had previously lost to Enyimba in the Oriental Derby clash last weekend in Owerri.

Rivers United took an early lead through Taofeek Olaniyi’s fourth-minute goal, but Christian Molokwu equalised for Heartland in the 45th minute.
