Enugu Rangers Come From Behind To Beat Kano Pillars
Published: July 02, 2015
One player has been a revelation for Enugu Rangers, while another proved his quality as the Flying Antelopes came back to defeat Kano Pillars 2-1 in Enugu.
Godwin Aguda and Bobby Clement but had key roles to play as Rangers quelled Pillars with a narrow 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
In the end, Clement’s 33rd minute winner gave Rangers an important three points while Pillars were unable to protect their lead for the second time in three days.
Aguda was plugged straight into the starting lineup and the starlet added zest to Rangers’ attacking play, especially in the first half.
Rangers head coach Imama Amakpakabo switched from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 formation.
However, the hosts went down as in-form midfielder Godspower Anefiok scored his second goal in two matches as Pillars grabbed the lead in the 10th minute.
It was a reward for Pillars control of the early exchange, though the visitors should have opened the scoring 4 minutes earlier.
The away side was pegged back just three minutes before the half hour mark. Young midfielder Aguda fired beyond goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai.
Pillars were rocked for the next few minutes and failed to regain composure.
And Clement netted what looked like the winner in the 33rd minute for the Flying Antelopes.
Neither Rangers nor Pillars have much time to think about Wednesday’s match.
Rangers will be guests to Akwa United on July 5th, while Pillars are at home to Elkanemi Warriors.
