Kenneth Omeruo’s CD Leganes will stay at least another season in the Spanish lower league after they fell 5-1 on aggregate to Rayo Vallecano in the semifinal of La Liga promotion playoffs.
Leganes tonight lost 2-1 in the return leg of the playoffs at home and so could not overturn a 3-0 defeat they suffered at local rivals Rayo Thursday.
Omeruo played the full game tonight after he was only an unused sub in the first leg.
His Madrid club were relegated from La Liga the previous season.
Fellow Nigeria star, Sadiq Umar, also saw his club UD Almeria fail to reach the final of the promotion playoffs after they lost 3-0 on aggregate to Girona Saturday night.
