Enyimba of Nigeria lost out 1-0 to Africa Sports of the Ivory Coast

The win was Africa Sports' first win in Group A of the Champions league and the Nigerians first ever defeat in African competitions on home soil.

The victory however was not enough for Africa Sports, who cannot make it to the semi finals, the best they can do is to draw level with Enyimba on seven points.

Under Champions League rules, the matches between the two sides level on points will be used to separate the sides.

Enyimba's 3-0 win in Abidjan would therefore seem stay ahead of Africa Sports even if the Nigerians did lose their final match in Malawi to Bakili Bullets.

Taofeek Oyasipe netted what turned out to be the winner for Africa Sports in the 37th minute with a clinical shot into the roof of the net after a good break from their own half by the Ivorians.

Africa Sport had the better of play in the first half and were unlucky not to get a penalty on the stroke of half time when midfielder Karamoko Comara seemed to be fouled in the Enyimba box.

The Nigerians came out a much more motivated side after the break as they attacked the Ivorian goal but without any success.

Muri Ogunbiyi missed a glorious chance when he shot over the bar from close range and two minutes later Africa Sport defender Blaise Kouassi was forced to head a free kick off his line.

Africa Sport had a good chance to increase their lead in the 65th minute when Djedjed Landry shot tamely with only goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to beat.
