Reigning Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Enugu Rangers returned to winning ways on Thursday with a 1-0 win at home against Bayelsa United, Afrosport reports.
The Flying Antelopes lost to current league leaders and title challengeers Remo Stars on Sunday and needed an instant response.
Rangers created a couple of chances in the first half, but the final connection in the opposition’s box was their greatest undoing.
However, Isaac Saviour’s 75th minute long-range effort was all Fidelis Ilechukwu’s side needed to amass maximum points at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium.
Focused all the way. A solid 1-0 win! Unto the next one.#RANBAY #NPFL25#GloryDays #NeverSayDie pic.twitter.com/D1L5KFZ5yu

Newly-promoted Bayelsa United are 17th on the log with just two points from four games.
Up next for Enugu Rangers, who are eight-time NPFL winners, is another home game against oriental rivals Abia Warriors on Sunday.
