Enyimba Football Club of Aba will be guests to Smouha SC at the Egyptian port city of Alexandria in the in the second leg, first round of the CAF Champions League. Smouha is a relatively unknown club in the continent’s premier club competition.

In the first leg played in Aba, the commercial hub of southeastern Nigeria, inside a capacity packed stadium, Enyimba narrowly edged the North Africans who were only content with sitting at the back and soaking The Elephant’s relentless pressure.

It took the brilliance of Enyimba’s Cameroonian forward, Raphael Boumsong, to unlock the North African defence, sending the edgy but cheering Enyimba fans into ecstasy.

The return fixture is expected to throw up a different challenge and the Nigerian giants are expected to be at their best on the night to contain and decode the tricky pace and play of the Egyptians who will be firing on all cylinders with a view to cancelling the deficit incurred three weeks before.
