Rangers have lost more footing in their quest to close up the gap on the league frontrunners after they were held for the second straight game at home by MFM on Thursday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in a NPFL Matchday 13 rescheduled match.

The Flying Antelopes made amends for the home draw with Kwara United, claiming an away draw at FC Ifeanyiubah in Nnewi last weekend and they were expected to pick the maximum points against the Olukoya Boys who have been poor travellers since the league season began.

Rangers dominated the early part of the game but poor marksmanship and impatience caused them scoring opportunities and they were made to rue their lack of cutting edge as the Olukoya Boys held
on stoutly to record their first away point of the season.

Gbenga Ogunbote made three changes to the team that started against FC Ifeanyiubah with two players: Okey Odita and Tope Olusesi forced to sit out due to card accumulations and they were replaced by Semiu Liadi and Chidera Eze respectively while Ifeanyi George was preferred ahead of Ajani Ibrahim who was on the bench.

MFM head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu effected two changes to his previous starting 11. Peter Ubakanma dropped entirely from the fixture and was replaced by Adebayo Waheed while Jonathan Zikiye beefed up the team’s defence.
