Enugu Rangers striker Kingsley Maduforo has been named NPFL Player of the Week for Matchday 24 following his decisive role in the defending champions’ 2-1 victory over league leaders Remo Stars.
Maduforo, a former Heartland FC forward, doubled Rangers’ lead in the 49th minute, scoring what turned out to be the match-winning goal. His strike secured a crucial victory that ended Remo Stars’ impressive eight game unbeaten run.
This was the 23 year old’s second goal of the season, and it helped Rangers avenge their 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture back in September. The win lifted The Flying Antelopes to third place on the NPFL table with 38 points from 24 matches, two points behind Shooting Stars and 10 points behind leaders Remo Stars.
Editorial
Kingsley Maduforo’s performance against Remo Stars highlights the importance of stepping up in big moments. Scoring the winning goal in such a crucial match not only secured three points for Rangers but also sent a message to the rest of the league.
Despite not being the most prolific forward this season, Maduforo delivered when it mattered most. His ability to rise to the occasion shows why he is a key asset for Rangers as they push for the title. With the season entering its decisive phase, Rangers will need more performances like this from him and the rest of the squad.

Ending Remo Stars’ unbeaten run could be a turning point in the title race. While the leaders still hold a significant advantage, this result proves that they are not invincible. If Rangers can build on this momentum, they could close the gap and make the title race even more competitive.
Maduforo’s recognition as Player of the Week is well deserved, but he must now focus on maintaining this form. If he continues to deliver in crucial matches, he could play a significant role in Rangers’ ambitions this season.
