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 capitalized 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 before Victor Mboama doubled the lead before halftime.
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.
Enyimba — the only Nigerian side left in the competition — will know their playoffs opponents on Tuesday when the draw takes place in Cairo, Egypt.
In the other game of the day, Bayelsa United were dumped out on Saturday after they lost 4-0 to Tunisia’s CS Sfaxien, and bowed out 4-1 on aggregate.
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.
The Juventus of the Arabs took the lead in the 11th minute as Chris Kouakou capitalised on horrendous defending to fire past goalkeeper John Shaibu, before Mohamed Ben Ali doubled the advantage six minutes later.
Aymen Harzi then made it three for Giovanni Solinas’s men in the 27th minute before Fares Chawat completed the rout five minutes before the half-time break.
