Not a good one for Nigeria League Champions, Akwa United as they were knocked out of the continent on Sunday night, after losing 2-0 at CR Belouizdad.
The Promise Keepers held a slim 1-0 advantage going into the second leg, but it was the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 Champions, CR Belouizdad, who scale through on a 2-1 aggregate.
With nothing to separate the two sides at halftime, United had hope of reaching the next round of the 2021/22 CAF Champions League season, but crumbled in the second half to the consistent pressure of Belouizdad.
Khalfalah opened the scoring in the 72nd minute before referee awarded a penalty for the hosts 10 minutes later, and the captain converted from the spot kick.
The Promise Keepers unable to keep their promise as they bow out of the continental showpiece.
