<br>In an electrifying clash at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, Sunshine Stars FC from Akure edged out Rangers International of Enugu with a close 1-0 win, courtesy of Stephen Chukwude’s [impressive](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-economics/) 42nd minute goal. As part of the Nigeria Premier Football League’s NPFL sixth matchday, the home team displayed strong [control](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/match-previews-and-reviews/besiktas-thrilled-to-land-former-leicester-midfielder-ndidi-as-long-term-starter/) from the outset.

<br>Chukwude, who has previously played for both Rangers and Heartland FC, skillfully scored by sending a powerful shot into the top corner following a pass from teammate Chinedu Nwosu. [Sunshine Stars](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/nigerian-premier-league/finidi-anticipates-tough-challenge-against-sunshine-stars/) had numerous chances to extend their lead, with some near misses that nearly brought them to a four-goal advantage by halftime. Yet, they successfully preserved their slim margin throughout the second half, preventing the champions from levelling the score.

<br>Head Coach Kennedy Boboye commended his team’s effort while highlighting the need for better [goal conversion](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-governance/super-eagles-promised-record-bonus-for-2026-world-cup-qualification/). It was a good game the most important thing is the three points we secured, as we take each game one at a time, he noted post match.

<br>Victories like that of Sunshine Stars over Rangers International reflect the resilience and competitiveness within the NPFL. Watching Sunshine Stars seize control and fight through missed opportunities before ultimately securing a win exemplifies what the league stands for perseverance, passion, and progress. In a game where every point counts, Coach Boboye’s message to take each game in stride highlights the focused approach that NPFL teams need to thrive.

<br>The game’s narrow scoreline underscores the importance of refining scoring tactics, a common challenge in many NPFL teams. Sunshine Stars' ability to control the tempo yet miss multiple goal opportunities shows a team capable of dominating but still requiring that clinical edge to truly secure their dominance. As supporters of Nigerian football, we believe that such [matches](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/sports-betting/casino-games/aviator-game/) do more than boost a team’s standings they set benchmarks for what the NPFL can achieve in terms of skill, strategy, and passion.

<br>As the NPFL season unfolds, we look forward to seeing Sunshine Stars and similar clubs not only fight for the league title but also elevate the profile of [Nigerian football](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/noah-atubolu-addresses-racism-in-german-football/) on larger stages.
