Enyimba secure first NPFL win as Rangers beat Warri Wolves

Enyimba International claimed their first victory of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season with a 4-2 win over Shooting Stars in a rescheduled fixture in Aba.

The hosts established control before half-time as Richard Ezinna, Damian Chibueze and Idris Abubakar found the net to give Enyimba a commanding advantage.

Ifeanyi Ihemekwele extended the lead soon after the restart, leaving Shooting Stars with a difficult task to rescue a result.

The visitors did respond through Mustapha Adams Agba’a and Johnmark Aule, but Enyimba prevented any further comeback and secured all three points.

Rangers International also recorded a narrow victory, beating Warri Wolves 1-0 in Ozoro.

Godwin Obaje scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, giving Rangers an early lead they managed to protect until the final whistle.

Elsewhere, Katsina United were held to a 1-1 draw by Rivers United.

Rivers United moved in front two minutes after half-time when Samson Olasupo scored in the 47th minute. The advantage lasted only three minutes, with Sani Mubarak equalising for the hosts.

There was nothing to separate Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, where the two sides played out a goalless draw.
