Enugu Rangers Overcome Enyimba in Closed-Door Derby to Top NPFL
In a tense Southeast derby at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu Rangers staged a thrilling second-half comeback to beat Enyimba 2-1 and seize first place in the NPFL. Playing behind closed doors due to a ban, Rangers conceded early but rallied with goals from Chidozie Iwundu and Ideanyi Onyebuchi. The victory returns Rangers to the summit with just three games left in a season-defining title race. The result leaves Enyimba dangerously close to the relegation zone and gives Rangers momentum under coach Ilechukwu. After losing the reverse fixture in November, this win feels like redemption and a major psychological boost. With the league crown now in their hands, Rangers must sustain this form — and they’ll get their fans back in the stands soon enough.
