Rivers United boss Finidi George insists the title race is far from over, as his side narrowed the gap on league leaders Remo Stars with a vital 1-0 win in Port Harcourt.
The result trims the deficit to five points with six games remaining in the 2024–25 Nigeria Premier Football League season. It marked a rare setback for Remo Stars, whose consistent form this campaign has put them on the brink of becoming the first privately-owned club in over a decade to lift the NPFL title.

Despite the loss, the Ikenne-based outfit remain top on 60 points and can re-establish their lead when they face Lobi Stars in a rescheduled midweek clash in Enugu.
The 53 year old Finidi George, who returned to club management after a brief stint with the national team, previously steered Enyimba to league success in 2023. He now seeks another crown with Rivers United, the club rooted in his own playing past.
