Rangers International of Enugu moved into the second round of the CAF Confederations Cup with a stimulating 2-0 win against visiting USM Bel Abbes of Algeria at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
Sports247.ng reports that, following a goalless draw in the first leg the previous weekend, The Flying Antelopes move on in the second-tier continental clubs’ competition, courtesy two goals by Bright Silas.
Silas scored both goals for The Coal City side, as the former JUTH FC of Jos star opened scoring after six minutes before he doubled the lead in first half stoppage time, with an assist from ace defender, Isaac Loute.
The Algerians were reduced to 10 men on 90 minutes after Boualem got his second booking, and Enugu fans felt Rangers should have won with a wider margin.
Indeed, sports247.ng reports that Rangers created many chances, but poor finishing or some resolute defending or good goalkeeping denied them a bigger win.
