Enugu Rangers Crash Out of African Champions League

By Arinze Ude

Enugu Rangers, the country’s remaining representative in Africa’s premier club competition, were ousted from the competition by Recreativo Libolo of Angola on Saturday. Recreativo beat Rangers 3-1 on the day and 3-1 on aggregate after the first leg had ended goalless.

Senegal’s Henri Camara and Dario Cardoso gave Libolo a two-goal advantage at half-time. Sunday Mba, playing his first game for Rangers since the transfer saga, scored after the break to raise hopes of a Rangers win on away goals rule. Cardoso then converted a late penalty to break Nigerian hearts and take Libolo into the group phase.
