Fidelis Ilechukwu of Rangers Int'l has expressed disappointment over the failure of his side to pick the maximum points in the goalless draw with Katsina United in Matchday 9 of the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League, reports BSNSports.cim.ng.

Ilechukwu said his players gave their best but were unlucky to fire blanks despite dominating proceedings in the game.

Ilechukwu said: "I think we gave our best on the day and we tried to push, did all we could, but in football, some days are like that. I may say that we were not lucky today. 

"It was a painful result because this was a game we prepared and played to win but our opponents did well in containing us all through the match. We have to put this result behind us and prepare hard for our next game which is another ‘Oriental Derby’."

Coach Bashir Saduki who led the Katsina state side to Awka said, “I am very happy for the boys, myself and the team for the away draw. It is essential to reach our set target for the season. We came to pick all the points at stake but are happy with the one point we got.”

Rangers now occupy the 5th spot on the log with 15 points from nine matches after failing to score for the first time this season, as Doma United currently leads the pack with 17 points.
