Nigerian Clubs Eliminated From Confed Cup
Nigeria suffered a wipe-out in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday as Warri Wolves and Heartland were both eliminated on away goals rule.
Wolves took a 3-1 lead to South African PSL strugglers Black Leopards, but were beaten 2-0 and dumped out.
Heartland had a mountain to climb heading into their own fixture in Congo. The Owerri side needed a late goal to secure the 3-2 win in the first leg, and we’re walking a tightrope going into the second.
It was a hurdle they failed to scale, as the hosts won 2-1 on the day.
Sunshine Stars were left to provide a cheering news for Nigeria, beating Mali’s Djoliba 1-0 to advance to the group stages of the CAF Champions League after a 1-1 draw in the away leg.
