Enugu Rangers have maintained their position at the top of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) table following a 1–0 victory over Kwara United on Sunday, November 8, 2026.

The Flying Antelopes secured all three points through a 40th-minute strike by Chimezie Izuchukwu at the Awka Township Stadium in Anambra State.

The victory takes Rangers to 24 points from 11 matches, giving them a three-point advantage over second-placed Bendel Insurance, who have accumulated 21 points from 12 games.

The result follows Rangers’ earlier 1–0 victory over Bendel Insurance in their rescheduled fixture, further strengthening their position in the title race.

Elsewhere, Ranchers Bees defeated Enyimba 1–0 in Minna, while Nasarawa United recorded a 3–1 victory over Plateau United. Abia Warriors and Doma United settled for a 2–2 draw.

Rangers’ latest victory keeps them firmly at the summit as the 2026/2027 NPFL season progresses, although their title challenge will face further tests in the coming fixtures.
