The Harmony Boys who had been on a run of eight games without defeat in the league fell behind in the 30th minute when Chiamaka Madu's headed attempt beats GK Aiyenugba. They came close to equalising on the stroke of half-time but Stephen Jude's long range effort was denied by the crossbar.
A big save by Dele Aiyenugba in the second half denied Rangers their second of the evening leaving the score 1-0 at full time.
MFM FC bounced back from recent disappointment of seven winless run in the league with a 2-0 win over rock bottom side, Adamawa United.
