CAF Champions League: Enyimba Sails To Next Round

Enyimba of Nigeria and Wydad Casablanca today, sailed to next round of the CAF Champions League, despite falling 2-1 to Vital’O in the second leg of their first round match in Nigeria.
The Peoples Elephants advance 6-3 on aggregate, thanks to a 5-1 home thrashing of their opponents in the first leg.
Former Warri Wolves attacking midfielder, Ikechukwu Ibenegbu gave Enyimba the lead in 28 minutes, with Shasiri Nahimana levelling things up for Vital’O in Bujumbura two minutes later.
Burundi international striker Laudit Mavugo put the locals ahead five minutes past the hour mark, but that was just too little too late over the two legs.
Elsewhere, Tanzania giants, Young Africans, progressed 3-2 on aggregate after holding Rwanda’s APR to a 1-1 draw in Dar es Salaam, courtesy of a 2-1 away win in Kigali in the first leg.
