Enugu Rangers and Wikki Tourists marked winning return to the NPFL after over two weeks break after they defeated Lobi Stars and 3SC in Match Day 7 rescheduled games played in Enugu and Bauchi respectively.
The Flying Antelopes shot into the lead in the 21st minute through Daniel Etor who followed up his impressive display last weekend in the CAF Champions League preliminary round victory over JS Saoura of Algeria with a cool finish after a defensive blunder from the Pride of Benue.
Rangers lead wasn’t for long as the centre referee blew an infringement in the reigning champions’ vital area after Tony Okpotu was adjudged to have been tripped in the 18 yard box by the goals scorer, Etor in the 36th minute. Even though Nana Bonsu saved the initial effort of the spot kick by Kingsley Eduwo he netted from the loose ball after Rangers’ defenders failed to clear their line in the 37th minute.
