Rangers International FC of Enugu on Sunday defeated Katsina United FC 2-0 in week 36 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The match played at the main bowl of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, was Rangers’ last home game of the season.
Veteran, Godwin Obaje scored a brace in the 10th and 15th minutes of the first half to end the game 2-0 at halftime.
On resumption of the second half, Katsina came out smoking, putting Rangers under intense pressure but without any goal to show for it.
Fidelis Illechukwu, the technical adviser of Rangers, made three changes, which made all the difference.
Diminutive midfielder, Saviour Issac, increased the tally for the flying Antelopes in the 78th minute while substitute C Igwilo made it 4-0 shortly after Saviour’s goal in the 90th minute.
In his post-match interview, Fidelis Illechukwu lamented the position of the NPFL defending champions, blaming it on a lack of funding.
“I appeal to the state government to come to our aid.
“I am a top-class coach and I am not happy with where we are this season,” he said.
The win left Rangers in 8th position on the 20-team league with just 52 points
