The very fine form that has seen seven-time Nigeria league champions, Rangers International F.C of Enugu chalk up ten of the available twelve points at stake over four match days of the NPFL 2020\/2021 season was halted as resolute defending from visiting Lobi Stars ensured that the spoils was shared at the end of proceedings in Enugu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Salisu Yusuf of Rangers made three changes to his match day 5 squad that were forced to a 1-1 draw by MFM in Lagos with Shedrack Asiegbu, Osas Okoro and Israel Abia making the cut for a starting place and it was wave after wave of attacks by the \u2018Flying Antelopes\u2019 but the visitors were resolute in their defending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As early as the second minute, Christian Nnaji had an opportunity to put the host in front after he was set up by an Osas Okoro\u2019 inviting cross but despite looping the ball over onrushing Moses Ocheje, the ball did not find its way into the yawning net as the visitors\u2019 defenders reacted well to clear the danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
