Despite creating several scoring opportunities, both sides were let down by poor finishing, leaving the scoreline unchanged. Rangers’ goalkeeper, Japheth Opubo, delivered an impressive performance, making crucial saves to keep his team in the game.
This result means the Flying Antelopes have managed just one win in their three competitive matches this season, a statistic they will be eager to improve upon in the coming weeks.
