Player ratings26 Apr 2027
Kelechi Ogbodo scores twice — 8.30
Two goals and a mark of 8.30 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Ganiyu Gberefu beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Player ratings26 Apr 2027
Olisa Moffi, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 8.30
A mark of 8.30 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Squad26 Apr 2027
A one-man rearguard from Lucky Jimoh
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad26 Apr 2027
A falling-out at Rangers International
James Emo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match24 Apr 2027
Olisa Moffi the difference as Rangers International beat Barau
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Olisa Moffi. 2‑1 against Barau, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
