The NPFL clash between Rangers and Nasarawa United at the Dan Anyiam Stadium was suspended on Thursday afternoon after heavy rainfall made the pitch unplayable.
Play Halted With Scores Level
With the match tied at 1-1, a sudden downpour created large pools of water across the turf, making it unsafe to continue. Match officials, following league protocols, stopped play in the 63rd minute as the rain intensified and players and coaching staff headed back to the dressing rooms.
Action To Resume From Where It Stopped
Organisers confirmed that the remaining 27 minutes plus stoppage time will not be replayed from the start. Instead, the match will pick up exactly where it left off, with play set to resume the following morning at 8:30am.
The suspension underscores the league’s continued focus on player welfare, ensuring that fixtures disrupted by extreme weather are completed under safe conditions rather than being rushed to a conclusion.
