After their respective stadiums could not fulfill CAF’s clearance, both teams used the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, for their CAF Champions League matches.

Ilechukwu feels the Flying Antelopes need to step it up if their rematch with the Comoros side ensures they advance to the second round. The Comoros side was the home team in the first leg.

“Although the game is still open and 50/50 as of right now, we want to do everything in our power to move on to the next round, so we are not sleeping because we wanted to finish the game in the first leg,”

“It was surprising how well they handled the pitch, and we are grateful that we were able to settle down as soon as possible too,” the Enugu Rangers coach said, reflecting on their 1-0 victory in the first leg and praising his opponents’ attributes.

We missed a lot of opportunities, and we are putting in a lot of effort to improve for the second leg. After witnessing our inability to convert opportunities in the first leg, our opponents came out in the second half. They are an extremely strong team with guys that possess good physical strength and quickness.

But the Flying Antelopes are the favorites going into today’s match, and a draw will be sufficient for them to advance to the next round of play.
