Enugu Rangers finally end Nigeria’s miserable Togo record

The Flying Antelopes finally helped the West African giants get one over on their regional neighbours

Togo have enjoyed the footballing edge over Nigeria in recent months, and therefore it was a great relief to see Enugu Rangers advance at the expense of ASC Kara in Sunday’s Caf Confederation Cup showdown.

It’s understandable that Rangers fans weren’t overwhelmingly confident heading into this showdown, having been defeated 2-1 by the reigning Togolese champions in the first leg in Lome a week earlier.

However, this Flying Antelopes side are a well organised and resolute unit under Benedict Ugwu, and Eziekwe Chinonso’s first-half goal was enough to see them through to the group stage.
