Nigeria’s El Kanemi Warriors crash out of CAF Confederation Cup

The Maiduguri-based El Kanemi Warriors have become the first Nigerian club to be eliminated from this season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

The team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Dadje FC of Benin in Cotonou on Saturday, resulting in a 3-2 aggregate loss.

In the first leg played last weekend in Ikenne, El Kanemi managed to secure a 1-1 draw. A 95th-minute header from substitute Gimba Ajiji had saved the Warriors from defeat.
