		Enyimba had in their first match of the league phase beaten Africa Sports 3-0, and their expectation of an easy reverse match against the no-hopers was put to question early in the game when Africa Sports rebuffed Enyimba's attempts for an early goal, which would have calmed their nerves.
		Under Champions League rules, the matches between the two sides level on points would be used to separate the sides.
		Truly, the Ivoiriens were not fantastic yesterday, but Enyimba's uncoordinated play, accentuated by their inability to string passes together, especially when they got to Africa Sports' goal area, really gingered the visitors, who relied on counter attacks to trouble the Aba team.

		Enyimba must beat Moroccoâs Raja Casablanca by any margin today to brighten their chance of winning the CAF Champions League for the third consecutive time.

		It is unusual for such giants of African football to have been drawn against each other so early in the Champions League competition, which is still in the knockout stages.

		Chiefs are relative novices in continental club competition although for several years, despite qualifying, they were not interested in playing, keener to concentrate on their own market.
