  "summary": "Enugu Rangers, a Nigerian club, has advanced to the second qualifying round of the CAF Champions League. They defeated Benin's AS Sobemap 5-4 in a penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their tie, which was played in Togo's capital, Lome, due to Benin's lack of an international-standard stadium. The aggregate score was 2-2.\n\nThe first leg details are not provided, but according to the Daily Post Nigeria, Rangers took the lead in the second leg from an own goal, before Sobemap equalized with 25 minutes remaining. The game went straight into penalties, which Rangers won 5-4 to seal a place in the next round.\n\nRangers will face Algerian club MC Algers in the second preliminary round, as reported by the Daily Post Nigeria.",
