Rangers GM Ezeaku Confident of Victory in Algeria

Barrister Amobi Ezeaku, the General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of Rangers International FC of Enugu, expressed confidence that the Nigerian champions would defeat MC Alger in the CAF Champions League return leg in Algeria. This statement comes amid security concerns following alleged violence and vandalism during the first leg in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where Rangers won 2-0 despite playing with 10 men.

Ezeaku stated that the team had prepared extensively and was not intimidated by the atmosphere, insisting they would return to Nigeria victorious. The Nigerian club raised concerns with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the reported destruction of stadium property and confrontations involving MC Alger supporters after the first leg.

Reports indicated that over 400 MC Alger supporters became agitated, leading to damage at the venue and confrontations with the Algerian technical crew. Ezeaku confirmed that the team was already in Algeria and felt comfortable ahead of the match.
