NPFL: How Shooting Stars halted Rangers’ 10-match unbeaten run — Ogunbote

Shooting Stars head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote has explained how his team ended Rangers’ 10-game unbeaten run in the Nigeria Premier Football League.

The Oluyole Warriors defeated their old rivals 1-0 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, on Sunday.

Former Flying Eagles captain, Ikouwen Utin scored the winning goal in the first half.

“We knew we were coming to Enugu for a tough game,” Ogunbote said after the keenly contested encounter.

“Ordinarily, 10 games unbeaten is massive. Credit to the team, but you would expect fatigue and other factors to set in. I think we capitalised on that. Also, I believe we needed the points more than they did.”

Reflecting on the game, the 65-year-old said they were lucky to win after missing several chances in the first half.
