A minute silence was observed before the game in honour of former Enyimba and Enugu Rangers player Bright Esieme, who passed away recently. Rangers, seeking to bounce back from their defeat to Katsina United the previous week, took the lead through Isaac Saviour’s strike within the first seven minutes. They had a chance to double their lead from the penalty spot in the 12th minute, but Godwin Obaje missed the conversion.
Gbenga Ogunbote secured a 2-0 victory over his former club, Lobi Stars, in Ibadan. The win propelled his current team to fourth place in the league table.
