Enugu Rangers’ dramatic comeback against Kano Pillars in the Aiteo Cup final on Wednesday would go down as one of the greatest in history.
The Flying Antelopes came from three goals down to defeat Pillars 4-2 on penalties.
It was an incredible recovery that got even the Masu Gida applauding after the encounter.
Congratulations to Enugu Rangers International for winning the 2018 Aiteo FA Cup #AiteoCupFinal18
