“…Yemi Olanrewaju’s side are now the only Nigerian club left on the continent…”
3-2 win via penalties……That was how close we were to not having any.
And it’s now close to a decade since we had a team in the group stages of the CAF Champions League. It’s a shame Enugu Rangers couldn’t advance against an Angolan Side without pedigree. I had high hopes on Coach Ilechukwu, I thought for once we now have a local coach with some technical savvy, but how wrong I was. He couldn’t map out a defensive formation that would protect the 1-0 first leg lead. Rangers conceded twice under 30mins, even when they managed to pull one back, which would have been good enough to get them Tru, they still managed to concede the 3rd and got eliminated. Just look at the way Etoile Fillante held Enyimba 0-0 today, why couldn’t Enugu Rangers hold on in Angola . @ Drey, my brother, what would you suggest that could be done to redeem our local football ??????.
