Bayelsa United, Nigeria’s last of hope of continental club soccer glory in 2014 crashed out of the CAF Confederations Cup after Sewe Sports of Cote’d Ivoire saw them off with a 1-0 win at the Sapele Township Stadium in Delta State.
The 89th minute strike from Kouanne Koffi, was all the visitors needed to book a place in the group stage of the competition with a 3-0 aggregate score after the first leg had ended 2-0 in favour of the Ivorian team in Abidjan.
Bayelsa United though dominated the game for most part of the game but were wasteful in front of goal as Sewe Sports held firm in the defence to curtail the attacking forays of the hosts.
With this result, the Restoration Boys will now focus on the Nigeria Premier League in a bid to represent the country in next season’s Caf club competitions.
