Rangers International FC Hand Ikorodu City First Home Defeat: Can the Oga Boys End Their Goal Drought?



Rangers International FC secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Ikorodu City in their rescheduled NPFL25 Matchday 2 fixture. The match, held at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, saw the visitors take an early lead in the 25th minute through Chinemerem Ugwueze. His well-placed strike was enough to secure all three points for the reigning champions.

For Ikorodu City, this result marked their first home defeat of the season, adding to their early struggles in the NPFL. Despite putting up a resilient fight, the Oga Boys were unable to find the back of the net, continuing their goal drought in the league.



This latest loss means Ikorodu City remains winless in their first three matches. The newly promoted side has yet to score a goal, with their results including a heavy 3-0 defeat to Kano Pillars, a 0-0 draw against Kwara United, and now this narrow loss to Rangers.

Rangers, on the other hand, continue to show why they are the reigning NPFL champions. With solid defensive organization and a clinical finish from Ugwueze, they left Lagos with a crucial three points, further boosting their title defense ambitions.

Ikorodu City will need to find solutions quickly if they are to turn their season around, while Rangers will look to build on this momentum in their next NPFL fixture against Remo Stars on Sunday.
