Ten-man Enyimba International FC succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Al-Ahli Benghazi at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Thursday’s CAF Confederations Cup Group A game.
After nearly missing the trip to Sudan due to flight issues, Enyimba started brightly in Libya but failed to convert their early chances, the best of which fell to star forward Tosin Omoyele. Al-Ahli punished the Nigerian representatives for those missed opportunities, with Muttasem El Taib notching the goal that made the difference in the encounter for the Butchers five minutes before the break.
They bounced back to the winning ways against ES Setif on their home soil but suffered a defeat in the reversed fixture of the encounter.
The Peoples’ Elephant, thus, headed into the match at Martyrs of February Stadium with a target of securing victory in order to boost their chances of making it into the knockout stages of the tournament.
Coach Fatai Osho handed starting roles to John Noble, Emmanuel Ampiah, Timothy Danladi, Augustine Oladapo, Obi Samson Bossa, Stanley Okorom and Tosin Omoyele in the encounter.
The Nigeria representative started the game impressively and came close to opening the scoring in the 32nd minute through Omoyele, but the forward missed his effort.
