Sweet Revenge: Enyimba’s Big Win Brings Hope in CAF Confederation Cup
Nigeria’s Enyimba FC are back in the race for the CAF Confederation Cup after a strong 4-1 victory over Black Bull Maputo.
The match, held on Sunday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, saw Enyimba bounce back with a dominant performance. This win came after a tough period where they hadn’t won in ten matches, including three in the Confederation Cup.
Joseph Atule was the star player, scoring two goals. He gave Enyimba the lead just six minutes into the game. However, Black Bull quickly equalized, making things tense. But Enyimba regained the lead thanks to a great goal from Ifeanyi Ihemekwele before halftime. In the second half, new signing Brown Ideye, a former Super Eagles forward, scored his first goal for the team, making it 3-1. Atule then scored his second goal in added time, securing the win.
This victory moves Enyimba up to four points in Group D, just one point behind Al Masry SC, who are in second place. There are still two more games left, and Enyimba will need to win them to reach the knockout stage of the tournament.
The win boosts the team’s confidence and gives them new hope after a tough run. New coach Stanley Eguma’s changes and the strong performances from players like Ideye were key to the turnaround. Enyimba’s fans will be excited, hoping this win marks the start of a successful run in both local and continental competitions.
