Caf Champions League: Anaemena on playing Rahimo without Enyimba's fans

The fanfare and electrifying atmosphere which usually characterises the Enyimba International Stadium each time the People’s Elephant are in action will be missing this Sunday.

This is because Confederation of African Football (Caf) ordered the two-time African champions to play their return leg of the Caf Champions League preliminary round tie against Rahimo behind-closed-doors. The reason for this punishment was due to a recent pitch invasion at Enyimba Stadium.

Looking ahead to Sunday’s must-win tie, Enyimba defender Ifeanyi Anaemena believes his side will prevail over Rahimo but admits playing behind-closed-doors will make the task more difficult.
