Rangers International of Enugu
have emerged as the champions of
the Nigeria Professional Football
League for the 2015/16 season.
The Flying Antelopes beat Ikorodu
United 2-1 away from home at the
MKO Abiola Stadium on Sunday to
end their 32-year wait for
silverware.
Obinna Nwobodo with a stunning
strike and Chisom Egbuchulam
scored first half goals to help
Rangers clinching the League title
with a game left to spare.
Wikki Tourists and Rivers United
who were all in the hunt for the
league shield also failed to get the
desired results in their respective
games.
While Wikki lost 1-0 in Ibadan
against Shooting Stars, Rivers
United lost the initiative as they
could only play a barren draw at
home against Abia Warriors.
Rangers with the win in Abeokuta
have 60 points and a much
superior goal difference than any
contender.
Even if Rangers lose their last
game at home next weekend
against El-Kanemi, Rivers United,
the only team capable of getting to
60 points, will have to beat Akwa
United by as much as a 5-goal
margin to overtake Rangers at the
top. Rivers have not beaten any
team by such margin this season.
Up Rangers.
