With the pressure at its peak, Chidiebere Nwobodo delivered when it mattered most, scoring twice to inspire Rangers to a memorable triumph and seal the club’s ninth league crown.
The Flying Antelopes showed composure and determination throughout the encounter, silencing the home supporters and overcoming one of the toughest away grounds in the league this season.

The victory marks another major achievement for the Enugu-based club, further strengthening their status as one of the giants of Nigerian football.
Winning the title away from home against one of the league’s strongest home sides added even more significance to the achievement.
For Ikorodu City, the defeat brought an end to an impressive home record, but their strong campaign and resilience throughout the season earned admiration across the league.
Rangers’ latest success is expected to spark celebrations among their supporters, who have waited eagerly to see the club return to the summit of Nigerian football.
