Nigerian
club side, Enugu Rangers have been sent packing from the CAF Champions League
after going down to a 3-1 defeat to Angolan side Recreativo do Libolo.
The Flying
Antelopes before now were Nigeria's sole surviving team in Africa club
competitions, but Saturday's away defeat meant the end of the road for the
Enugu team.
Rangers
managed just a goalless draw in the first leg played at the Nnamdi Stadium in
Enugu a fortnight ago and were hoping they could at least get a score draw in
the second leg tie.
Going into
Saturday's game Rangers and Libolo were enjoying contrasting fortunes in their
domestic leagues, while Rangers sit at the top of the Nigeria Professional
Football League, NPFL their opponents sit at the base of the league in Angola.
That however
counted for nothing as Libolo seal their place in the lucrative Group phase of
the Champions League as they become the first Angolan side to achieve this feat
since 2003
