2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup: Enyimba International FC survives Zamalek FC of Egypt's scare in Uyo

Posted : 09 December 2024

It was a tense match on Sunday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, the venue for the group stage match of the 2024/2025 CAF Confederation Cup between Nigeria's representative, Enyimba International FC of Aba, and Zamalek FC of Egypt. The People's Elephant came from two goals down to level the score at 2-2 before the final whistle.


The People's Elephant had to rally from a two-goal deficit to force a 2-2 draw with the CAF Confederation Cup defending champions, Zamalek of Egypt.

After a challenging opening, the Egyptian giants struck first through their Tunisian striker, Seifeddine Jaziri, who scored in the 33rd minute.


Seven minutes later, Zamalek were two goals up as an unmarked Omar Faraj was offered a clear opportunity in another Enyimba defensive blunder. He blasted the ball into an empty net after Enyimba goalkeeper, Ani Azoemena, had collided with his defender.


However, in added time of the first half, Ifeanyi Ihemekwele, in a breakaway move, outpaced the Egyptian defense and chipped the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper, Mohamed Awad, to reduce the deficit to 2-1.


In the second half, Ufere Chinedu salvaged a point for Enyimba with a deflected strike from outside the penalty area in the 58th minute.


With this draw, Zamalek temporarily leads Group D with four points, edging out their counterparts, Masry, by one point. Masry will play Black Bulls of Mozambique later on Sunday.


Zamalek is scheduled to face Masry in the third round of Group D fixtures on December 15, while Enyimba will visit the Black Bulls on the same day.
