On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, Nigeria sole representatives in the CAF Champions League, Enyimba International FC of Nigeria crashed out of the league despite defeating their opponents, Al Merrikh of Sudan 2-1 in Aba. The win however was not enough to overturn the huge 3-0 deficit the team suffered in December in the hands of the Sudanese in the first leg. Prior to the match, Nigeria football analysts were of the view that the most successful club in the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL would defeat their opponents but they would not scale through to the group stage of the league.
