TotalEnergies CAF Champions League: Monastir, Enugu Rangers ...
Published: Saturday, 14 September 2024
TotalEnergies CAF Champions League 2nd Preliminary Round action got underway on Friday, 13 September with two matches taking place to mark the start of another action-packed weekend of CAF Interclub football.
Two matches took place on Friday evening, with both hosts securing slim victories over their travelling opponents.
Nigerian outfit, Enugu Rangers played host to Sagrada Esperanca of Angola whom they edged 1-0 courtesy of a late strike by Kazwem Ogunleye in the 78th minute.
The slender victory gives hope to the Nigerians ahead of what is expected to be an even tougher return leg in Angola next weekend.
Up north, Monastir welcomed Algerian side, MC Alger to Tunisia in what was a closely contested encounter.
Despite starting off as the better side, the visitors unfortunately conceded an own goal by Ayoub Ghezala which was the only goal of the match ahead of next weekend’s return leg in Algeria.
TotalEnergies CAF Champions League action continues this weekend with more exciting action taking place, as the race towards a place in the group stages gains momentum.
