Caf Confederation Cup: Enugu Rangers progress to next phase after surviving AS Pelican scare

Enugu Rangers have qualified for the next phase of the Caf Confederation Cup after they came from behind to defeat AS Pelican 3-1 on Sunday at Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, Enugu.

Dertin Amores had given the visitors a surprise lead before Nigeria’s sole flag bearers responded with three goals which helped them progress with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline.

Having lost the first leg 2-1 in Libreville a fortnight ago, coach Benedict Ugwu’s men needed to put their best foot forward in Sunday’s game but that wasn’t the case as Rangers were caught flat-footed five minutes into the second leg tie.
