Rangers Int’l Go Top With Win Over Nasarawa United

Posted : 02 March 2026

Rangers International FC, on Sunday, defeated visiting Nassarawa United FC of Lafia 2-0 to climb to the top of the Nigeria Premier Football League on match day  28 of the 2025/26 season.

The match played at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium; Enugu lived up to expectations as the two teams kept their fans on the edge throughout the 90 minutes.

Veteran striker, Godwin Obaje, put Rangers ahead in the 20th-minute of play with a beautiful volley.

The goal rattled the visitors, who responded with beautiful passes and one-on-one combinations, causing anxiety in the Rangers 18yard box.

In spite of the rampaging force from the “solid miners”, Chidiebere Nwobodo doubled the home team’s lead before the half time whistle.

On resumption of the second half, the visitors seized the initiative, dominating Rangers through the midfield but poor finishing from their attacking players robbed them of goals.

Rangers also made frantic efforts to increase their tally but their efforts yielded no results again, they however, left the pitch celebrating their three points.

In a post-match interview, the Coach of Nassarwa United, Mangut Mbwas, blamed missed chances for their goalless outing.

“We played well but missed many big chances. That is football,” he said.

The Coach of Rangers, Fidelis Illechukwu, praised his men for scoring early goals to seal the game.

“It was a fantastic performance and we hope to keep it up,” Illechukwu said.

According to him, the team is now optimistic about winning the league title.

He, however, admitted that “it is still a long way to go” with 10 games left to play in the NPFL this season.

The win pushed the Flying Antelopes to the top of the NPFL table, with 47 points after 28 matches
