Rangers Int'l FC records first defeat in Pre-season friendly
Posted : 18 September 2023
Rangers International suffered their first defeat in pre-season after going down 1-0 against Akwa United. Akwa United FC got the only goal of the fierce encounter through Seyi Oguntayo in the encounter played at the practise pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
Rangers head coach, Fidelis Ilechwuku, handed starts to the defensive quartet, Austin Opara, Philip Clement, David Chimezie, and Barnabas Ingya.
The Promise Keepers settled quickest into their strides, but the backline of the Flying Antelopes soaked up all the pressure.
Rangers had a chance in the 24th minute from Philip Clement but was tipped over by the Akwa United goalkeeper.
Akwa United coach Fatai Osho fielded a new team in the second half of the encounter before Oguntayo capitalised on the shaky Rangers defence to blast home a long-range effort to send the few watching fans of the home side into a wild celebration.
