Defending NPFL champions, Enugu Rangers secured their first win in the ongoing season following a lone-goal victory over the hosts, Ikorodu City at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.

The mid-week clash was one of the two outstanding matches of the Coal City lads who were eliminated from continental club tournament last weekend.

Aside from Rangers, former champions, Enyimba FC were also in action after their successful continent club assignment and also secured a win against visiting Lobi Stars in a 2-1 scoreline in Aba.
