Enugu Rangers qualify for the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League after beating Benin’s AS/ Sobemap FC 5-4 on penalties. The match is decided in a shootout following a second-leg draw.
In the second leg at the Stade de Kegue in Lomé, Rangers and Sobemap finish 1-1. With both sides level across the tie, the contest goes to penalties, where Rangers convert one more than their opponents to progress. Multiple reports note the tie is played in Lomé because Benin does not have an international-standard stadium for CAF fixtures.
The outlets broadly align on the result and progression, describing a tightly contested encounter that ends 1-1 in the second leg and produces a 5-4 penalty shootout outcome. Differences are limited to naming conventions for the Beninese club and the specific aggregate framing (whether 1-1 draws are described as 2-2 across legs).
