2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 6 Review: Rangers Earn Away Point in Bauchi

Posted : 29 September 2025

It was a thriller that ended in a draw, with no shortage of excitement, as Wikki Tourists were forced to share the spoils at home in Bauchi after a pulsating 2-2 clash against Enugu Rangers in Match Day 6 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.

 

Wikki started on the front foot, nearly taking the lead within minutes, but Lewis Dadong couldn’t convert a golden opportunity.

 

In the 12th minute, Klingshak Longbak broke the deadlock with a clinical finish, following a well-placed assist from Nasiru Jibrin.

 

However, former Wikki striker Godwin Obaje returned to haunt his old team, nodding in a simple header in the 28th minute to draw Rangers level and send both sides into the break on even terms.

 

Wikki made tactical changes immediately after the restart, and it paid off. In the 58th minute, Jonathan Mairiga restored the lead, with Nasiru Jibrin providing his second assist of the game.

 

Rangers kept pressing, and it was Obaje again in the 79th minute, slotting home his second goal to seal a valuable point for the visitors.

 

Wikki’s head coach, Abdu Maikaba, expressed disappointment after the match, pointing to defensive absences.

 

“Three of our defenders were unavailable. Abba Musa is injured, Yusuf Mohammed is nursing a groin problem, and Haruna Aliyu is with the U20 team at the World Cup in Chile.”

 

Despite the setback, Maikaba remained optimistic:

 

“This is football—you win some, lose some, and draw some. We’ll correct our mistakes.”

 

He also called for continued support, understanding, and prayers from the club’s loyal fans.

 

Wikki Tourists now face another tough test next weekend when they travel to Ikenne to take on Remo Stars in Match Day 7.
