It is now a shootout involving three players for the NPFL Goal King prize after Victor Mbaoma fired his 12th goal of the season for Remo Stars.
The experienced striker scored his team’s consolation goal in a 2-1 loss at his former club Enyimba Sunday.
Joseph Arumala of Ikorodu City and Uche Collins from Katsina United are also on 12 goals each.
The 29-year-old Mbaoma, who has previously featured in Algeria and Rwanda, is gunning for a second NPFL Goal King crown after he first won it at Enyimba in the 2021 season.
Godwin Obaje (Enugu Rangers) and Emeka Obioma (Abia Warriors) have thus far netted 11 goals each to pile the pressure on the NPFL leading scorers, while several other players have scored 10 goals apiece.
