Remo Stars have sealed their place in the second round of the 2025/26 CAF Champions League after dispatching Comoros’ US Zilimadjou 5-0 on aggregate in the preliminary stage.
The Sky Blue Stars set the tone with a commanding 4-0 victory in the first leg on Sunday at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, before wrapping up the tie with a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture at the same venue.
Alex Oyowah’s 73rd-minute strike ensured back-to-back wins, marking the first time in the club’s history that they have progressed beyond the preliminary round, at the third time of asking.
Their reward is a daunting clash against South African giants and last season’s runners-up, Mamelodi Sundowns, who received a bye into the second round.
