The highly anticipated Oriental Derby between Enyimba FC and Rangers International ended in a goalless draw, leaving fans yearning for a decisive outcome in the matchday 15 fixture of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
Enyimba began the game on the front foot, dominating early exchanges with notable efforts from Clinton Jeptha and Ifeanyi Ihemekwele. However, their attempts failed to find the back of the net, leaving the first half scoreless.
Rangers' goalkeeper, Lucky Abdullahi, was instrumental in keeping his side in the game, expertly saving a well-placed free kick by Enyimba's Imo Obot just before the halftime whistle.
In the second half, both teams made tactical substitutions to try and tilt the game in their favor. Despite the renewed energy and a lively crowd at the Enyimba Stadium, neither side could find a breakthrough.
With the stalemate, Enyimba now turns its focus to its upcoming continental engagements, while Rangers prepares to face league leaders Rivers United in another crucial encounter.
