Aderemi Adeoye Stars in Ikorodu City's Win Over Rangers
Aderemi Adeoye, an invitee to the Super Eagles, scored a stunning free-kick in the sixth minute, leading Ikorodu City to a 2-0 victory over reigning champions Rangers in a Nigeria Premier Football League match. This win marked Ikorodu City's second league victory of the season after five games.
Ikechukwu Junior added a second goal in the 63rd minute. Adeoye, who joined Ikorodu City in January 2026, had previously scored once in nine appearances during the latter half of last season.
The goal against Rangers was his first in four league appearances this season. Adeoye is among the players called up for Nigeria's friendly against Russia in Novgorod on October 6, which could mark his senior international debut.
The squad for the friendly will be led by captain Wilfred Ndidi and includes other notable players such as Moses Simon and Stanley Nwabali. Adeoye and the other players will travel to Russia following the Super Eagles' second AFCON qualifying game against Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday.
