Enyimba booked a place in the play-off round of the 2021/2022 CAF Confederation Cup after a 4-0 aggregate victory over Dimbars FC of Senegal on Sunday.

The Peoples Elephant subliminally built on the 1-0 advantage they got in the first leg of the encounter played at the Stade Fode Wode on October 16.

The second leg played at the Enyimba International Stadium had barely kicked off before Tosin Omoyele put the home side ahead with a quick goal in the 2nd minute.

The second goal arrived in the 31st minute, with Victor Mboama brilliantly slotting the ball home.

Samuel Kalu fritzed the icing on the cake in the 90th minute with a well-taken goal to send the eight-time Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions into the final round of the qualifiers.

In the other game of the day, Bayelsa United were trounced 4-1 on aggregate by CS Sfaxien of Tunisia to end their storied run on the continent.

The Bayelsa boys shocked the Tunisians with a 1-0 victory in the first leg of the tie at the Samson Siasia last weekend.

However, they were out of depth in Tunis and lost the return leg 4-0.

Goals from Chris Kouakou, Muhammed Ben Ali, Aymen Harzi and Firas Chaouat delivered a reality check for the Nigeria National League (NNL) side.

In the CAF Champions League, Rivers United rued the goal conceded at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium last weekend as they bowed out after a 2-1 aggregate loss to Al Hilal of Sudan.

The Pride of Rivers failed to keep a clean sheet when the Sudanese visited and were effectively kept at bay when they visited the Blue Jewel stadium on Sunday.

The Port Harcourt club isn’t out of continental action as the team gets the consolatory prize of participating in the CAF Confederations Cup play-offs.
