Rangers International of Enugu got goals from Bright Silas and Godwin Aguda on Sunday, to snatch a stimulating 2-1 win away to Bantu FC of Lesotho 2-1 in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Sports247.ng reports that the away win takes The Flying Antelopes one step closer to the second-tier continental competition’s group stage, as they now only need a draw from the reverse fixture in Enugu to qualify.
The return leg will be played in Enugu on January 20 with the overall winners advancing to the league stage of the competition, which now appears within reach for the Nigerian Cup winners.
The Coal City side looked on the way when Silas opened scoring early in the game to register his fourth goal of the competition, before Aguda hit home a second after the restart.
Bantu, who dropped out of the second round of the CAF Champions League, got a consolation goal, but Rangers held on for a famous win.
