Remo Stars head coach Olumide Ajibolade has commended his players for the 1-0 win over Rovers FC.
Olalekan Malik scored the only goal of the matchday one encounter.
Ajibolade admitted that the encounter was keenly contested.
"It was a very difficult game because we dealt with a lot of issues that we couldn't control," Ajibolade stated in a post-match interview.
"The boys are new to the league, and there was nervousness among them, but they were able to push on to get the winning goal.
"Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of the players; it's good to have three points. We take that and move on."
Remo Stars will travel to Akure to play Sunshine Stars next in a week-two fixture.
