Rangers International Football Club of Enugu on Wednesday lost 0-1 to visiting Plateau United of Jos in a 2021/2022 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matchday 10 fixture.

Musa Ibrahim’s fifth-minute goal gave the visiting team victory in the match played at the FC IfeanyiUbah Stadium in Nnewi.

Speaking after the match Abdul Maikaba, the coach of Rangers International, acknowledged that the visiting team played well to get the win away from home.

He nevertheless said he had expected the match to be a tough one.

“Our opponents did well and that fetched them the positive result. Besides, I had expected that because I am their former coach.

“But I also think that my players did not understand the politics in this kind of game as they approached it like any other game and that was not good for us,” Maikaba said.
