Ugochukwu had another crack at goal on 37 minutes after some neat interchange of passes opened up the host\u2019 backline but his well struck shot was pushed over the bar by Abayomi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the game crept past the hour mark, coach Salisu made three substitutions that saw Shedrack Asiegbu, Femi Ajani and Israel Abia taking the places of tiring Christian Nnaji, Dauda Madaki and Agu Kenechukwu and the impact was felt even without any goal from the troika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mbwas Mangut, chief coach of Rangers, who spoke to the media after the encounter, praised the efforts of his players in the encounter stressing, \u201cIt was a good game and we should have earned all three points at stake but for some good goalkeeping from the opponents. We keep building and progressing with more matches and it is our belief that we will deliver the goods at the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ugwuoke Ugochukwu said, \u201cI am happy with the goal I scored but very disappointed that we failed to grab all the three points. We hope to do better in future matches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
