Club Brugge secured their spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage with a dominant 6-0 victory over Rangers in the second leg of their playoff match, sealing a 9-1 aggregate win.

Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika was a key contributor, assisting the fourth goal for Club Brugge in the 45th minute.

The match marked a return to the Rangers squad for Cyriel Dessers, who had been recovering from injury.

However, he remained an unused substitute, a development that will be welcomed by the Super Eagles coaching crew.

Meanwhile, Kaye Furo, the 18-year-old son of former Super Eagles defender Furo Iyenemi, was on the bench for Club Brugge.

Club Brugge dominated the match against Rangers, with a strong team performance that showcased their attacking prowess.

The win marks a significant milestone for the Belgian giants, who will now look forward to competing in the group stage of the Champions League.
