Rangers International Claim First NPFL Win with 2-0 Victory Over Plateau United

Posted : 08 September 2025

Rangers International FC recorded their first victory of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season with a 2-0 win over Plateau United at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu.

 

The early exchanges were balanced, with both teams struggling to establish control. Rangers, however, began to find their rhythm as the first half progressed, with captain Chidiebere Nwobodo, full-back Kenneth Igboke, and veteran forward Godwin Obaje applying pressure on the visitors’ defence.

 

Their persistence paid off on the stroke of half-time when Igboke was fouled just outside the penalty area. From the resulting free-kick, Kenechukwu Agu delivered a precise ball that was converted by Chiedozie Iwundu to give the Flying Antelopes a 1-0 lead going into the break.

 

In the second half, Rangers continued to press but wasted several opportunities to extend their advantage. Their breakthrough eventually came late in the game when Nwobodo capitalised on a goalmouth scramble to double the lead and secure all three points for the home side.

 

After the match, Plateau United coach Olusola Adugun admitted it was one of their poorest results so far but praised his players’ effort, noting that early-season rustiness played a part. “We will bounce back,” he assured.

 

Rangers head coach Ekene Ekenedilichukwu described the win as a step in the right direction. “No team is perfect. We are still a work in progress, but I am pleased we took our first three points of the season,” he said.

 

With this result, Rangers climb to four points after three matches, having previously recorded one draw and one defeat.
