In a surprising turn of events, Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) outfit Remo Stars faced a stunning defeat in the State FA Cup at the hands of their own academy team, Beyond Limits.
Despite initially taking the lead with Hadi Haruna’s equalizer against Beyond Limits’ early goal by Chukwudi Isaac, Remo Stars found themselves unable to maintain their advantage.
Beyond Limits, who had to play with 10 players for over half an hour following Adebayo Dikko’s red card, displayed remarkable resilience. Despite being a man down, they held Remo Stars at bay, forcing the match into penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time.
Beyond Limits’ composure prevailed in the penalty shootout as they clinched a 5-4 victory, securing their unexpected progression in the State FA Cup.
