Enugu Rangers players celebrate 1-0 victory against Adamawa United in match day 15 of the Nigeria Professional Football League at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, Enugu State.

NPFL: Rangers beats Adamawa, Goes Joint Top With Kwara

Last updated Mar 15, 2021

The Enugu Rangers went joint top of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table with Kwara United, after beating a very defensive Adamawa United 1-0 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu on Match-day 15.

The Flying Antelopes had started strong in a one sided first half with Adamawa United playing catch up. However, the Enugu side failed to make the best of ball possession with Christian Nnaji the major culprit in a first 45 minutes that ended 0-0.

The second half started as they first did with Rangers asking all the questions and encountering much resistance from Adamawa. When it looked like the game was heading for a draw, Uche John started an attack with a headed pass to substitute Eliagwu. He wasted no time in finding Chignons Ezekwe, who simply tapped in for the only goal of the encounter.

With the win Rangers joined Kwara United as joint leaders but second with 27 points from 15 games and will next take on Katsina United on Thursday. Adamawa United remains at the bottom of the league log and will be taking on Abia Warriors in Gombe.
