Two-time African champions Enyimba have failed in their bid to qualify for the Caf Champions League group stage following their 1-0 loss to Al-Hilal in Omdurman on Sunday.
The People’s Elephant had shot themselves in the foot right from the first leg in Aba a fortnight ago as they could only record a barren draw against the Sudanese side.
While coach Usman Abd’Allah’s men were optimistic they could get the needed result in Omdurman to still pull through, a solitary strike in the second half by the hosts ended their aspirations of a possible third Champions League triumph this season.
