In the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), table-toppers Enugu Rangers International Football Club defeated Plateau United Football Club of Jos 2-0 in week 32 of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) 2023/24.


The match, played at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, started with a high tempo as both teams tried to outwit each other.


The Flying Antelopes broke the deadlock in the 25th minute through a goal scored by Chiedozie Okorie and held on to the lead until the end of the first half.


At the start of the second half, Plateau came out with crisp passes and dominated play for the greater part of the half.


Rangers' coach, Fidelis Illechukwu, made three changes to shuffle his team, which paid off in the 90th minute when a Rangers striker was brought down in the 18-yard box.


Rangers were then awarded a penalty, which was converted by Godwin Obaje for the second goal of the match.


In his post-match interview, Illechukwu expressed his happiness over the win.


"I am happy for this victory; we trained very hard for this match. Plateau is my team because I coached them last season, and I know they cannot defeat us here in Enugu."


Mbuaz Mangut, coach of Plateau, stated that they came to win or at least secure a draw.


"We came here prepared to win, but unfortunately, our plans did not work out. That's football," he said.


The Flying Antelopes still lead the table with 57 points.
