The intense football rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana will continue in the CAF Confederation Cup this season after Rivers United and Dreams were drawn together in Group C on Friday.
Former African champions Club Africain of Tunisia and newcomers Academica Lobito of Angola complete the mini-league after a draw made in a Johannesburg TV studio.
Earlier in the second leg in Port Harcourt, the Nigerians missed two penalties and struggled to break down rivals reduced to 10 men by a second-half red card. Club Africain were crowned African champions in 1991, but the Tunis outfit have largely underachieved in Africa since.
