Enyimba have crashed out of the 2023-24 CAF Champions League after playing out a goalless draw with Ahly Benghazi of Libya in Aba on Sunday, Sportivationng.com reports.
The People’s Elephants lost the first leg 4-3 and needed just a 1-0 victory to advance but they fell short in front of their fans.
Enyimba dominated the game but the visitors defended doggedly to frustrate the NPFL champions.
The Finidi George-led team won the NPFL title after emerging winners of the Super Six in June.
This is the first time that Enyimba will be eliminated in the Preliminary round of the CAF Champions League since 2015.
