Maikaba said he was happy with the performance of his players, whom he noted played for pride. The coach said the Enugu-based team no longer had chances in the league but would shift their attention to the Aiteo Cup.
The victory now places Rangers in the seventh position on the Group B table with 19 points after four wins, seven draws, and five losses.
