Auwalu joins race for Eunisell Boot

Rangers forward, Israel Abia missed a big chance to go in front in the battle for the Eunisell Boot over the weekend, when he fluffed a spot-kick in his team’s goalless draw at MFM FC in a NPFL match on Sunday.

In a report by Nation Update.com.ng Abia currently tied on 10 goals with Akwa United’s Ndifreke Effiong would have moved one goal clear if he had converted a 50th-minute penalty at the Agege Stadium.

He fired his attempt from 12 yards over the bar, which leaves the race for the Eunisell Boot wide open.
