CAFCC: Enugu Rangers Lose 2-1 In Togo

Rangers International of Enugu on Sunday lost 1-2 to ASC Kara of Togo in their CAF Confederation Cup play-off round first leg tie in Lome.
The hosts drew the first blood in a pulsating encounter at Stade de Kegue in Lome on the half-hour mark.
However, the Flying Antelopes responded three minutes later as Ifeanyi George restored parity from the penalty kick spot.
It was looking like Benedict Ugwu’s men would earn a valuable draw away from home, until disaster struck when the game was about ending.

A little loss in concentration by the defenders in the second minute of the four added-on minutes saw Yendoutie Nane drill a powerful effort to the far side post.
NAN also reports that having secured the vital away goal, a 1-0 victory at home will be enough for Rangers to go through to the group stage on the away goals rule.
The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubside made it to the group stage last season and will be keen to replicate same this season and even improve on their last outing.
The second leg tie comes up on Nov. 3 in Enugu.
