Rangers coach Ilechukwu laments ‘many errors’ in home win

Enugu Rangers maintained top spot in the NPFL after a 3-2 derby win over Abia Warriors, but coach Fidelis Ilechukwu said they could have killed off the game but for the many errors they made.

 “It was a good game going by the result as the three points matter a lot at this time of the season, but we made a lot of errors and could have buried the game in the first half,” he bemoaned.

“We shall keep working on the noticed lapses to make necessary corrections before our next fixture.

“We remain positive going into the weekend’s encounter against continental side Rivers United.”

Isaac Saviour was named Man of the Match after he scored for the second straight game against Abia Warriors.

 “I feel very excited. I think that for some time I was out injured and coming back and got a chance to start a game and score against Katsina, I had it in mind that I had to continue scoring if at all, I wanted to make an instant impact in my team,” he said.

“I am very happy to score against Abia Warriors after scoring in Katsina and I hope it goes on like that.

“It is always a joy to be selected as the man of the match and I feel excited and hopefully, more will come.”

On Sunday, Rangers will be guests of Rivers United, who are battling to get out of the relegation zone.
