Enyimba crash in Congo
Nigeria’s
representative in the CAF Confederation Cup, Enyimba International,
have an arduous task ahead of them as the People’s Elephant came
crashing 0-3 to their opponent AS Vita of Congo in the first leg of
their Confederation Cup match.
All the goals were scored in the first half of the encounter.
The Aba landlords
would now have to score at least four un-replied goals in the return
leg billed for Aba in a fortnight, to stand any chance of moving on.
In the last round
of matches played, Enyimba had to upturn an earlier 2-0 deficit it
suffered in the hands of Academicas Petroleos to win their home game
3-0 to advance to this stage of the competition.
Nigerian clubs are
yet to win the competition since its first edition in 2004. The best
result by a Nigerian side was a second place finish by Dolphins in
2005. Enyimba coach, Okey Emordi, had earlier promised that he is
determined to make history as the first side to win that trophy for the
country.
