Wolves draw at home, Bayelsa lose away

Wolves draw at home, Bayelsa lose away

Warri Wolves

Warri Wolves’ bid to win the CAF Confederations Cup yesterday suffered a big jolt when they were held to a barren draw by visiting Tunisian side, CA Bizertin at the Warri Township stadium.

In the first leg duel, which Wolves fans had thought their side were going to win convincingly, given their strong performance in the previous round, the team sadly failed to hit the right chord on home soil, thereby making the return leg in Tunis in a week’s time a rather herculean task.

Nigeria’s other representatives in the competition, Bayelsa United, had a rather bumpy ride in their first leg match away at How Mine of Zombabwe, where they lost 2-1.

Bayelsa will however feel confident of overturning the 2-1 deficit when the Zimbabweans come visiting next weekend at the Olleh Township stadium in Sapele.
