Enyimba Crashes Out of Champions League Despite Away Win

Glo Premier League giants Enyimba were knocked out of the Orange Caf Champions League despite winning by a lone goal at AS Real of Bamako in the 1/16th round.

The two time African champions needed to overturn a two away goal deficit following last Sunday’s 2-1 loss in Aba to the Malian opponents, but Bala Zaka’s first-half strike was too little to help the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) outfit scale through as AS Real advanced on away goal rule after a 2-2 agg. tie.
