Enyimba Hold Etoile Filante to Stalemate, Set for Decisive Second Leg

Enyimba played to a 0-0 draw against Burkina Faso’s Etoile Filante in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round match on Friday.

Despite the lack of goals, the People’s Elephant delivered a solid defensive display throughout the game.

Yemi Olanrewaju’s men managed to create a few chances, but they couldn’t capitalize on them, leaving the match finely poised ahead of the return leg.

Enyimba will host the second leg at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Sunday, September 22, where they will need a win to advance to the next stage of the competition.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s other representative in the CAF Confederation Cup, El-Kanemi Warriors, were knocked out in the first round by Benin’s Dadje FC.
