Rangers International went into their CAF Champions League first leg against AS SOBEMAP looking for a convincing home advantage. They got the lead through Chidozie Iwundu, reached halftime in front and surrendered that advantage shortly after the restart. A 1–1 draw in Abeokuta leaves the tie open — and moves the examination away from home.

Edo Queens were beaten by Ampem Darkoa in the group stage, trailed the Ghanaian champions twice in the WAFU-B final and were deep into stoppage time with Nigeria’s CAF Women’s Champions League ticket slipping away. Then Oluebube Umejiaku struck in the 94th minute. Edo forced penalties, won the shootout 4–1 and completed a remarkable tournament redemption.
