Federation Cup Wrap: Defending champions Enugu Rangers crash out while Rivers United progress

Defending champions Enugu Rangers have been kicked out of this year’s Federation Cup following their 2-0 loss against Lobi Stars on Wednesday at the Bako Kontagora Stadium, Minna.

The Flying Antelopes who produced a stunning display last year to edge Kano Pillars to the title in a thrilling final encounter at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba could not replicate the same this time around and have been stopped in the Round of 32.

Two goals from Lobi striker Michael Stephen did all the damage for coach Gbenga Ogunbote’s team who have now ended their season with no silverware.
