The Nigerian Champions suffered a 4-3 loss at Libyan side, Al Ahli Benghazi in a 2023/2024 CAF Champions League preliminary round first-leg clash.
The second half produced more goals, with Eze Ekwutoziam and Murphy Ndukwu canceling Al Ahli Benghazi’s leads to put the score at 3-3 before a heartbreaking stoppage time winner for the hosts secured a 4-3 first-leg result.
Coach Finidi George’s tutored side will be buoyed by the narrow defeat and hope to overturn the deficit in seven days when the return leg is played at Nest of Champions, Uyo. Nigeria’s other representatives in the CAF Champions League, Remo Stars Sports Club also suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ghanian side, Medeama FC on Sunday afternoon.All rights reserved.
