NB: this would suggest that the match Lupopo-Blessing (Dec 22, 2020) was registered
    by Linafoot as a 0-0 draw and that Rangers were credited with an additional goal
    in one of their matches against Mazembe (Dec 19, 2020, Mazembe 2-0 Rangers; and
    Apr 14, 2021, Rangers 1-4 Mazembe);
    however, all three results as above were confirmed by match reports, cf.:
      Dec 19, 2020: Mazembe 2-0 Rangers (source1, source2);
      Dec 22, 2020: Lupopo 1-0 Blessing (source1, source2);
      Apr 14, 2021: Rangers 1-4 Mazembe (source1, source2);
    suggesting Linafoot are not very good at recording their results or at computing
    the standings from them.
