Late Goal Seals Dramatic Win For Lobi Stars Over Rangers

November 02, (THEWILL) – Enugu Rangers were left stunned on Thursday afternoon, after a late goal from Stephen Oganbor earned victory for Lobi Stars.

Lobi had taken an early lead through Atule Danbani, but were pegged back by Chidiebere Nwobodo’s equaliser on the hour mark. The match looked to be heading for a draw until Oganbor struck in the 83rd minute to snatch all three points for Lobi Stars.

It was a thrilling contest between the two Nigerian giants, who have developed a keen rivalry over the years. Rangers manager, Gbenga Ogunbote, will be disappointed his side could not hold onto their lead.

Lobi Stars, meanwhile, showed tremendous spirit to get back ahead and claim the bragging rights. The Makurdi outfit will not only be delighted by their three points but will hope to keep this character and determination going forward.

The result sees Lobi Stars leapfrog Rangers into second place in the Nigerian Premier Football League table after six matches.

  Bayern Munich returned to winning ways as they comfortably dispatched Wolfsburg 2-0 at the Allianz Arena on Sunday afternoon. The victory moved the Bavarian giants back into second place in the Bundesliga standings. Teenager Lovro Zvonarek opened the scoring after just four minutes, lashing home from Alphonso Davies' cutback. Bayern doubled their lead soon after through Leon Goretzka's cool finish following good work from the impressive Bryan Zaragoza and Zvonarek. Despite Wolfsburg's recent uplift in form, the visitors offered little resistance as Bayern's fringe players dominated proceedings. Zaragoza and Zvonarek were particular standouts, with the latter unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet again. After the interval, the one-way traffic continued as Bayern pushed for a third goal that ultimately eluded them. Zaragoza went close on two occasions while Mathys Tel also spurned a decent chance. As the game petered out, both sides seemed content to play out the closing stages at a pedestrian pace. However, the performances of Bayern's young stars will encourage the Bundesliga juggernauts ahead of the final game of the season. For Wolfsburg, the defeat ends a three-match winning run but their Bundesliga status for next season had already been secured prior to kick-off. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl may yet rue his side's toothless display against Bayern's second-string line-up.
