Nigeria U23 Trainee Selbol Assists Swope Park Rangers Advance To Western Conference Final

Former Dream Team VI trainee Nansel Selbol starred as Swope Park Rangers qualified for the USL Cup Playoffs Western Conference Final after a hard fought 2-1 win over Orange County Blues FC on Sunday afternoon.

Introduced as an impact substitute in the 78th minute, the diminutive striker set up the game-winner netted by Dane Kelly in the first half of extra time.

On 120 minutes, Selbol had a chance to put Swope Park Rangers 3-1 up when he weaved into the box but his left-footed effort went too high.

Swope Park Rangers will face Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 in the Western Conference Final on Saturday, October 15.

The 19-year-old Selbol represented local sides Plateau United and C.O.D. United FC before his move to the United States.
