Rangers maintain their place at the top of the Nigeria Premier Football League after holding Barau FC to a 2-2 draw at Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Ifeanyi Okechukwu gives Rangers the lead in the first half, but Barau respond through Joseph Atule and Aliyu Sugau, both via penalty goals, in the second half.
Other coverage highlights results elsewhere in the league. Premium Times Nigeria says Plateau United produces a dominant display, thrashing Kano Pillars 4-0, as part of the NPFL roundup. While Daily Post Nigeria focuses on Rangers’ resilience and Fidelis Ilechukwu’s praise for the players after the draw, Premium Times frames the weekend through wider standings implications, noting Rangers “cling to” top spot following the round.
