The big Togo international forward Mawuena rose highest to head home a cross for the winning goal by Remo Stars against Abia Warriors and complete a remarkable comeback after they trailed 2-0 at the start of this home tie.
That is the third goal of the season for the experienced 32-year-old attacker, who has played in Belgium and Turkey.
Coach Daniel Ogunmodede described the comeback as “incredible”.
The home victory has meant Remo Stars have opened a six-point gap at the top of the table after close challengers Rivers United dropped valuable points at home against Bendel Insurance.
Will Remo Stars finally be crowned champions after finishing runners-up in the last two seasons?
