CAFCC: Enyimba crash out of tournament
Nigeria's representative in the CAF Confederation Cup, Enyimba FC have crashed out of the competition following their loss to Zamalek SC on Sunday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The 2-time CAF Champions League winners have struggled in the competition garnering 5 points in the group and needed to win the game to qualify.
However, it was not the case as the People's Elephants as they are called fell 1-3 to the Egyptians at the Cairo Stadium.
Mustafa Shalaby opened score for Zamalek SC in the 29th minutes with an header following a cross from Zico as the Egyptians led 1-0 at half time.
Seifeddine Jaziri doubled the lead 4 minutes into the second half after intercepting the ball from goalkepper Ani Ozoemena who wanted to double pass the player.
Ifeanyi Ihemekwele reduced the deficit for the Nigerian side 3 minutes later, but Jaziri with his second of the day restored the 2-goal the lead in the 88 minutes after an individual brilliance that saw him beat two Enyimba defenders to hit the ball pass goalkepper Ozoemena.
