NPFL Table After Enugu Rangers Drew 2-2

According to a report by Goal on Sunday, October 11, 2026, Enugu Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Barau FC in an entertaining Nigeria Premier Football League encounter.

The match, which was played at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano, saw Enugu Rangers take the lead in the 38th minute through Onyebuchi Ifeanyi, who found the back of the net to give the visitors an advantage before the half-time break.

Barau returned for the second half with the determination to get back into the game, and their efforts eventually paid off in the 56th minute when Joseph Atule converted a penalty to bring the score level at 1-1, giving the home supporters something to celebrate as the hosts continued to push forward.

The home side grew in confidence after the equaliser and were rewarded with another penalty in the 67th minute, which Aliyu Sugau calmly converted to put Barau ahead for the first time in the match. The goal put Enugu Rangers under pressure, as the visitors needed to respond quickly to avoid leaving Kano without a point.

However, Rangers refused to give up despite falling behind, continuing to search for an opportunity to rescue the game as the closing stages approached. Their determination finally paid off in stoppage time when they found the equaliser in the 90th minute plus three, ensuring that the contest ended in a 2-2 draw.
