One has to go back to 2011 to find the last time when a Nigerian club made it to the knockout rounds of the Caf Confederation Cup.
Enyimba, however, ended the wait when they pulled through to the final eight at the conclusion of their group-stage campaign with a 1-0 home win over CARA Brazzaville to ensure they finished top of Group C.
It’s the first time they’ve progressed this far in Africa’s second-tier club competition, having only previously gone as far as the final qualification round in 2010, and this is uncharted territory for the People's Elephant.
