It was a day of mixed fortunes for striker,
Fortune Omoniwari, as he made a goalscoring debut for Nigeria Professional
Football League champions, Rangers, on match day one of the 2016/17 season
against oriental rivals, Abia Warriors, but ended the match on the losing side,
in front of the home fans.
Abia Warriors claimed a famous 2-1 victory over Rangers.
Interestingly, it is the first time the Umuahia side will
claim maximum points in Enugu since the emergence of their rivalry in the top flight.
“Scoring on my NPFL debut for Rangers will remain special
for me. However, losing maximum points at home wasn’t what I envisaged. I’m surprised
we lost.
“We have to put that behind and move ahead to seek for
points elsewhere,” he said to naijaleague.com.ng
It’s the second time the talented forward will score on
his debut for a new side after scoring on his Heartland debut against his
former team, Sharks, in 2015.
With his debut goal, Omoniwari has wormed his way into the
hearts of the fans, who want more from him.
Omoniwari got the
curtain raiser, while the Warriors claimed victory with goals from Emeka Isaac
and Godwin Zaki.
