2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup: Al Masry of Egypt beats Nigeria's Enyimba International

Posted : 28 November 2024

Enyimba International FC began their campaign in the 2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup on a sour note as they were outplayed by Al Masry of Egypt, losing 2-0 in the opening Group D match at the Suez Canal Stadium.


The two-time CAF Champions League winners hoped for a strong start, but their aspirations were dashed despite a promising display.

The People's Elephant fell behind early due to a defensive error that allowed Mahmoud Hamada to open the scoring in the 5th minute of the match.


Hamada later doubled Al Masry's lead in the 74th minute, completing his brace.


Al Masry dominated the encounter, registering 21 shots, with 10 on target, compared to Enyimba’s nine shots, only three of which tested goalkeeper Mahmoud Gad. Despite the loss, Enyimba's Henry Ani Ozoemena delivered a stellar performance, making eight remarkable saves to keep the scoreline respectable.


The Egyptian side maintained slight control of possession, completing 414 passes (55%) compared to Enyimba’s 370 passes (45%).


Three Enyimba players—Fatai Abdullahi (16'), Innocent Okey (44'), and Ismael Sarki (48')—received yellow cards, while Al Masry’s Karim Eraki was booked in the 45th minute.


Enyimba will aim to rebound from the defeat when they host Zamalek FC at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
