Mutawakilu's leaves Wikki frustrated

By Daily Sports on August 8, 2017

Rangers International goalkeeper Seidu Mutawakilu produced superb saves to ensure the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) defending champions picked a point in Bauchi against Wikki Tourists in a Matchday 33 on Sunday.

Wikki Tourists dominated the game from beginning to finish, however they failed to transform that into goals to the frustration of the home fans who were anxiously hoping their team avoid relegation.

Rangers winger Bright Silas put the visitors in front in the 15th minute after his deflected shot beat Wikki goalkeeper Emeka Nwabulu.

Rangy forward Chinedu Onyelonu levelled for Wikki in the 31st minute. And all efforts by the home team to maintain their 100 per cent home record since Bala Nikyu took over helms of affairs were thwarted by the heroic goalkeeping of Mutawakilu.

Silas however converted a free kick to goal which dropped at the edge of the box, the winger fired a shot that took a deflection after it hit the leg of Ahmed Mohammed and easily beat Nwabulu.

This was eventually followed by a goal by the home side when their pressure resulted in a corner and from the corner a goalmouth scramble ensured Onyelonu's deflected brought the score to 1-1.

The result means Wikki drop to 13th position from 11th with 44 points while Rangers are in 15th place on the log with 43 points. (SCORENigeria)
