CAF Confederation Cup: Enyimba suffer defeat in group opener

Nigeria’s Enyimba FC began their CAF Confederation Cup group stage campaign on a disappointing note, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat against Egyptian side Al Masry SC at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia on Wednesday.

Mahmoud Hamada’s fifth-minute strike set the tone for the hosts, catching Enyimba’s defence off guard.

The Nigerian side struggled to regain composure, with Masry’s dominant display limiting their scoring opportunities.
