CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: MFM beat MC Alger to take first-leg advantage
Mountain of Fire and Miracles Football Club, (MFM FC) of LagosĀ recorded a slim 2-1 win against MC Alger in the first leg of their CAFĀ Champions League, first round fixture at the Agege Stadium, Lagos
Wednesday.
The Nigerian teamās early goal had been cancelled out almostĀ immediately by the Algerians with a goal of their own, leaving MFMĀ needing an extra cushion ahead the second leg.
But Monsuru Bashiruās second goal would prove to be the winner asĀ action in the game reached a crescendo. Even though the Nigerian teamĀ and itās fans enjoyed a sense of relief, the reality of a very dicey
encounter away is not lost on them as MFM would be wary of the awayĀ goals rule trap in the second leg in faraway Algeria in a fortnight.
