The first half was marked by the injury sustained in the 35th minute by Rangers forward Aguda, after a bad challenge from Plateau’s Golbe.

Aguda was taken out of the field.

Four minutes after, Plateau goalie Okiemute Odah stretched his full length to keep out Bright Silas’ attempt for Rangers, an effort that would have given the visitors the lead.

The first half of the match ended goalless as both sides failed to undo each other.

In the second half, the hosts mounted pressure on the visitors, such that the latter were made to seat deep in their own half of the field as they conceded free kick after free kick.

In the 65th minute, Plateau made two tactical substitutions, introducing Peter Eneji to replace Osanga, and Abdulwaheed replacing Omoniwari. To pile more pressure on the visitors, Ibe Johnson also replaced Ambrose in the 75th minute.

Two minutes after, the substitutions drew the result expected as Chizoba Amaefule headed the champions in front.

Rangers made their own substitutions later on, but they were not so effective.

After the match, Rangers Chief Coach, Gbenga Ogunbote said that his side was unlucky to go home without at least a point.

“We did all we could to get at least a point but lost it at the last minute. It is unfortunate but it is one of those things in football.

“We will take the positives from the game and make amends where necessary,”he said.

Kennedy Boboye, Plateau United Chief Coach, said that his side played against a very technical team and was happy that they got the three points.

Boboye said the three points were very important points to his side and would boost their morale as they travel to play on Tuesday in CAF Champions league.

Amafule the scorer of the goal that gave United the victory, thanked God for giving them the three points in the match.

He said the team was tired after the long journey from Cameroon, where they beat Eding Sports in CAF Champions League

He said the team would do their best when they travelled to Tunisia for another CAF Champions League match against Etoile du Sahel.
