Enugu Rangers coach, Abdul Maikaba after his side’s 1-0 win against Gombe United says he is happy that his team is back to winning ways after three straight winless games before the Saturday NPFL Matchday 17 encounter.
“It was a beautiful game, a fantastic game for both sides but I am glad we got the three points at the end of the match. Gombe United has shown their class with a very young team but my boys were equal to the task. We came out to win and we won. We are back to the winning ways.”
Rangers International F.C, the ‘Flying Antelopes’ got back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over visiting Gombe United F.C, the ‘Savannah Scorpions’ in a matchday 17, NPFL 2021/2022 fixture inside F.C Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, Nnewi on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
Coach Zubairu Aliyu of Gombe United said, “It was a match that we have played and lost and nothing can be done about that. We played against a great side and would have gotten a draw but for the uneven nature of the pitch.”
Chidiebere Nwobodo was the hero of the day as he latched onto a defense splitting pass from ‘New Boy’, Chukwuebuka Okorie to stab home past Gideon Gambo just four minutes into the second stanza to send the few fans in the stands into wild jubilations.
With the win, Rangers move to the third position on the twenty team log with 28 points from seventeen matches as the team awaits results from other matchday 17 results expected to be played on Sunday at various centers.
