Rangers International attacking midfielder, Kingsley Maduforo has dedicated his goal against Kwara United to his teammates, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The NPFL reigning champions, on Monday, in a re-arranged match day 9 fixture inside Kwara State Stadium Complex, earned a valuable point as a Kingsley Maduforo’ 44th minute goal cancelled out an earlier lead by the host, as both sides shared the spoils.

Chances also fell for Kazeem Ogunleye and Isaac Saviour on 4 and 15 minutes but Badmos showed the stuff he was made of while the Rangers backline also displayed great coordination to provide cover for Lucky Abdullahi.

The hosts opened the scoring in the last five minutes of the first period when Yahaya Ibrahim delivered an inch perfect cross that was expertly tucked in by Shola Abdulraheem on 42 minutes to send the near capacity filled stadium into celebrations.

Two minutes later, the visitors drew level when Maduforo met a Kazeem Ogunleye’ corner-kick with a precise cycle kick that silenced the crowd while the few traveling fans went on celebrations.

Maduforo in his post-match chat, said, "I am really happy for the goal I scored and I dedicate it to the entire team as we fought very hard together for this result against Kwara United which gave us a great fight."

With this result, Rangers now have twelve points from nine matches and occupy the 9th spot on the 20 team log and will next play Nasarawa United in a match day 10 fixture scheduled for Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on November 3, 2024.
