Bendel Insurance secured a 2-1 win against Rangers International in a rescheduled Nigeria Professional Football League game played at the University of Benin stadium on Thursday.

Goals from Junior Osaghae and Stephen Sodje ensured Kelvin Itoya goal was just a consolation as Insurance ended Flying Antelopes 13-game unbeaten run.

After 21 minutes of action, Rangers star man Seka Pascal got his marching order, hence, the Flying Antelopes were without a player who had scored five goals in his last six games.

Junior Osaghae opened the scoring in the 34th minute for Insurance but ten-man Rangers pulled back through Kelvin Itoya in the 38th minute but Insurance retook the lead in the 58th minute through Stephen Sodje.

The win put Insurance into 7th position with 21 points from 16 games while Rangers remain top with 31 points from 15 games.
