Rangers International continued their winning form a win away from home against Niger Tornadoes in the Nigeria Premier Football League match day 23 fixture on Sunday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Two first half goals by Chidiebere Nwobodo and Godwin Obaje was all the Flying Antelopes needed to get their 5th consecutive win and 5th consecutive clean sheets at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna.

Nwobodo had come close to scoring on two occasions before breaking the deadlock on 22 minutes after converting from Obaje's pass.

Obaje turned goal scorer 4 minutes later after firing an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box to double the lead.

It was 0-2 at end of half time after the host tried pulling one goal back.

In the second half, the visitors maintained efficiency even with pressure coming from the hosts who hit the upright on 67 minute and several attempts at goal.

However, the Enugu side held on to win and keep the clean sheet which takes them to third on the log with 40 points.
