Rangers midfielder, Tony Shimaga was one of the few shining lights for Rangers as they fell 2-1 to oriental rivals, Enyimba FC in an exhilarating Oriental Derby
With Enyimba having more of the ball throughout the duration of the game, the midfielder had much work to to. The People’s Elephants took an early lead through Victor Mbaoma before Israel Abia equalized three minutes later
From then on, Rangers had to defend as Enyimba poured more men forward. Shimaga was saddled with the responsibility of making sure that Enyimba did not penetrate through the middle and he was always in aerial duels with Dare Olatunji
The midfielder’s effort could not stop Olisema from scoring a beautiful winner but he played a huge part in making sure that the final score was not embarrassing. Rangers would have have to thank goalkeeper, Seidu Mutawakilu who made outstanding saves to make the score moderate
