Victor Mbaoma salvages a point for Remo Stars

Victor Mbaoma's free-kick earned Remo Stars a home draw against FC Ifeanyi Ubah in a rescheduled match-day 28 NPFL match in Sagamu on Tuesday.

The youngster, enjoying a productive debut season in the top division, responded in emphatic style for Stars a minute after Godwin Obaje had given the visiting team the lead.

Ubah's Drissa Bamba was the busier of the two goalkeepers, repeatedly denying Ekene Awazie and Mbaoma.

With time running out, Chijioke Alaekwe and Obaje combined to perfection, with the former locating the prolific forward to net his 11th goal of the season in the 80th minute.

But Mbaoma took just a minute to level matters, curling a free-kick beyond the reach of Bamba to score his 10th goal of the season, hitting double figures for the rock-bottom club.

The game was rescheduled from Sunday due to food poisoning suffered by 13 Remo Stars players.
