Nigeria’s Enyimba got their CAF Confederation Cup campaign off to an
impressive start after beating Mali’s Djoliba 2-0 in a Group C game at
the U. J. Esuene Stadium on Sunday.
The first half, however, saw Enyimba struggling to find their rhythm
and they were not able to create any decent scoring chances.
Djoliba, on the other hand, controlled the midfield in the first half
and had a few efforts on goal, but their shooting was rather poor and
they didn’t really threaten the home side’s goal.
Consequently, the first half ended goalless.
The second half was a different affair with Enyimba taking charge and
opened the scoring three minutes in when Isiaka Oladuntoye found the
back of the net with a clinical finish from just inside the box, 1-0.
The Nigerian side continued to dominate matters after that, but their
final pass in the last third was poor and let them down.
Nonetheless, Enyimba pushed forward and found their second goal in the
81st minute courtesy of a penalty goal from Stanley Dimgba, 2-0.
Enyimba are next in action in Group C of the CAF Confederations Cup on
Wednesday, May 16th away to CARA Brazzaville while Djoliba will host
Willamsville on the same day.
