Nigeria’s representative, Enyimba, have crashed out of the CAF Champions League following their 1-0 loss to Zamalek at the Petrosport Stadium in Cairo on Monday.

That goal handed the Egyptian club all three points and a ticket into the next round, as Enyimba were unable to bounce back despite to introduction of top scorer Mfon Udoh in the 75th minute.
“It is a tough Champions League match at Zamalek”.
“This will decide who qualifies for the next round of the competition”.
Whichever side triumphs in the encounter between ZESCO and Wydad will face either Zamalek or Enyimba, with the runner-up hosting Sundowns in the first-leg of the semi-finals next month.
Mamelodi Sundowns have already won their CAF Champions League group, but their semi-final opponents from Group A will only be decided later this month.
The six players are Theophilus Afelokhai, Chima Akas, Chinedu Udoji, Bassey Ezekiel, Joseph Osadiaye, and Oluwadamilare Ojo.
