Remo Stars’ captain, Nduka Junior, opened the scoring for the home side. However, ASFAR FC quickly responded with an equalizer, setting the stage for a tightly contested match.
Sodiq, who had earlier provided the assist for Junior’s goal, emerged as the hero with his decisive strike at the 60-minute mark. This goal gave Remo Stars a crucial lead heading into the second leg.
The return fixture is scheduled to take place in Morocco in a week’s time, where Remo Stars will aim to defend their slim advantage and progress further in the competition.
