Victor Mbaoma has thrown himself firmly back into contention for the Nigeria Premier Football League top scorer award after a decisive weekend performance for Remo Stars.
The experienced forward was on target as Remo Stars cruised to a convincing 3-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes, a result that not only strengthened their campaign but also reignited Mbaoma’s push in the Golden Boot race.
His latest goal comes at a crucial stage of the season, where every strike could determine who finishes as the league’s leading marksman. With the 2025–26 NPFL season entering its closing stretch, the race for goals has become one of the most closely watched narratives across the division.
Earlier in the month, Mbaoma was among a cluster of forwards chasing the top spot, with several players separated by just a handful of goals. His consistency in front of goal, despite limited appearances compared to some rivals, has made him one of the most efficient strikers in the league this term.
The former Enyimba striker, known for his intelligent movement and clinical finishing, has once again demonstrated why he remains a proven scorer in Nigerian domestic football. His latest contribution not only boosts his personal tally but also underlines his importance to a Remo Stars side pushing to maintain momentum in the latter part of the campaign.
With only a few matches left to play, the Golden Boot race is expected to go down to the wire. Mbaoma’s resurgence adds another layer of intrigue, as he now looks to outscore his closest challengers and cap off the season on a high.
