Npfl: Shooting Stars End Ugly 20-year Record Against Rangers As Remo Stars, Abia Warriors Record Big Wins

Matchday 18 games of the Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL were played across the country over the weekend with Shooting Stars, Remo Stars, Abia Warriors, Kwara United, and Shooting Stars registering notable victories, .

Shooting Stars pulled off the most significant win of the gameweek as the Oluyole Warriors stunned champions Rangers International with a 1-0 victory in Enugu.

It was not just the only away win of the weekend but also the first time Shooting Stars will beat Rangers away from home in over 20 years.

While Rangers would likely attribute their loss to the absence of chief coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, who was on national team duty in Ghana, Shooting Stars would be grateful to former Maccabi Haifa defender Ikouwem Udo Utin who netted the only goal of the encounter in the 28th minute.

The 25-year-old star also played a key role in helping the Ibadan warlords keep their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the league.
