  "summary": "Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw by AS Sobemap in their CAF Champions League first preliminary round tie at the Moshood Abiola Sports Complex, Abeokuta. Fidelis Ilechukwu’s side scored through Iwundu Chidozie in the 23rd minute, but Sobemap equalised early in the second half. Rangers pushed for the winning goal but the visitors were resolute at the back.\n\nIn another CAF Champions League match, Medeama SC lost 1-0 to TP Mazembe in the first leg of the preliminary round in Tarkwa. The Ghana Premier League champions controlled the opening exchanges but conceded an 86th-minute strike, leaving them with an uphill task to overturn the deficit in the second leg.\n\nThe reverse fixtures for both ties are set to take place next week Sunday. According to Adom Online, Medeama made the brighter start and created opportunities to take the lead but could not find a way past Mazembe’s defence.",
