The second half which saw an offensive play from the Aflao-based Agbogba FC failed to produce an equalizer.
The blast of the final whistle by the referee sent the Ho Sports Stadium into a frenzy mode, as fans of Rangers - mostly from Ho and its environs - sparked a jubilant mode.
The Southerners, who had travelled from Aflao to support Agbogba FC, mounted their buses and trouped out of the stadium disappointed.
