Enyimba have sealed a place in the semi-final of the CAF Confederation Cup courtesy of a 5-1 win over Rayon Sports.

The People’s Elephants will face either Raja Casablanca or Cara Brazzaville in the last four.

With showers of goals raining in Aba, Enyimba fans had reasons to smile in the entertaining fixture.

Stanley Dimgba, former Sunshine Stars winger, capitalised on an error from the visitors to score the first goal in the 12th minute.

The lead didn’t last long as Caleb Bimenyimana restored parity for Rayon Sports. Goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai should have done better to prevent the goal.

Flying Eagles skipper Udoh Ikouwem put Enyimba back in the lead from a solo effort.

Striker Sunday Adetunji handed the two-time CAF Champions League winners a two-goal cushion early in the second half.

The goals continued to pour in for the home side. The stadium was thrown into a frenzy as Joseph Osadiaye found the back of the net.

Ex-Kwara United defender Isiaka Oladuntoye put the icing on the cake with a brilliant effort for his team’s fifth goal of the afternoon.
