Enugu Rangers set to clinch Nigeria League title

Enugu Rangers International are all set to emerge as the new champions of the Nigeria Professional Football League 2015/16 season.

The Flying Antelopes secured a 2-1 win over Ikorodu United 2-1 at the MKO Abiola Stadium on Sunday to inch closer than close to ending their 32-year wait for silverware.

Obinna Nwobodo with an amazing strike and Chisom Egbuchulam with first half goals helped Rangers close in on the League title with a game left to spare against El-Kanemi next weekend.

Wikki Tourists and Rivers United who all were in the hunt for the League shield both failed to get the desired results in their respective games.

While Wikki lost 1-0 in Ibadan against Shooting Stars, Rivers United played a disappointing goalless draw at home against Abia Warriors.

Rangers with the win in Abeokuta have an unassailable 60 points. 

Even if they lost their last game at home next weekend, Rivers United will need to win with as much as a 5-goal margin to overtake Rangers at the top.
