  "summary": "Rivers United were eliminated from the CAF Champions League after a 2-2 home draw against San Pedro on Sunday, according to the Daily Post Nigeria. Finidi George's side fought back from two goals down at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, but ultimately crashed out on the away goals rule after both teams were tied 3-3 on aggregate. Nigeria's other representative, Enugu Rangers, secured their place in the second preliminary round after a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Beninese side Sobemap FC. Rangers will now face MC Alger of Algeria in the second qualifying round next month.",
