Two away draws from Rangers and debutants, Rivers United, as well as a surprise away defeat for Wikki Tourists and a slim victory for another debuting side, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, summarized the weekend for Nigerian teams in the continent. >
CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Rangers fought the good fight to claim the important away goal, in Algeria, to boost their chances of making it to the first round.
And in Bamako, a resolute performance equally earned Rivers a goalless draw.
Rangers may have scored a vital away goal and Rivers leaving without conceding, but the battle is not over.
The duo must work hard to finish the task at home.
Results
JS Saoura (Algeria) 1-1 Rangers
Real de Bamako (Mali) 0-0 Rivers United
CAF CONFEDERATION CUP
Indeed, it turned out to be the biggest match so far for two-year old, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, who got a late goal through Cameroonian import, Tamen Medrano, to take a slim one-goal advantage into the return leg at the Port-Said Stadium.
As expected, it was a full house at the FC IfeanyiUbah International Stadium that included Governor Obiano of Anambra State.
Results
FC Ifeanyi Ubah 1-0 Al-Masry (Egypt)
RSLAF (Sierra-Leone) 2-0 Wikki Tourists
