Magicial Nigerian Iwuala helps Enyimba win clash of giants
A brilliant dribble and perfect pass by Anayo Iwuala allowed Tosin Omoyele to score and earn Enyimba of Nigeria a 2-1 win over Entente Setif of Algeria Sunday in a high-profile Total CAF Confederation Cup clash.
The showdown between former two-time CAF Champions League winners in southeastern city Aba was settled by the magic of Iwuala, who evaded six Algerians before laying off the match-winning through ball.
Iwuala, 22, has been capped twice by Nigeria and considered a rising star who will soon be on the radar of European club scouts.
Enyimba captain Austin Oladapo atoned for having a penalty saved by equalising before half-time after Monsef Bakrar had given Setif an early lead in the third-round Group A match.
