First Leg of the semi-final match ended with Enyimba losing 0-1. Enyimba must win by a 2 goals margin to make it to the Final. Here is what Enyimba's head coach Okey Emordi has to say about Sunday's game:

“We will try our best to win on Sunday. No one goes to war to lose, our aspiration is to achieve successes.

“Now that we have lost everything in the local scene, our target is to win against Wydad. We are working very hard on the loopholes that made us lose to them in Morocco.

“We hope at the end all the efforts will be translated into victory. We need it most right now the nation is enveloped in tears. So we hope to wipe away the nation’s tears with a win,” he said.

“When we lost to WAC in Morocco, everyone was angry and aggrieved, in fact, they (the players) wanted the return leg immediately.

“So they are ready to face WAC and enthusiastic of victory.

“None of the players are under card suspension, no major injury, we will be having solid squad

So what do you think. . .will Enyimba get the required result on Sunday? Drop your comments and vote in the poll. . . . . . .

I see a 2:1 victory for Enyimba, but is that enough?

too much time wasting going on. The Wydad players are playing theatrics, though Enyimba are not putting in enough pressure on their defence. I see the Super Eagle effect on them - coming so close but not being able to cross the rubricon

Things are not looking good at all

The paramedics seem to be the busiest in the stadium

This Enyimba players are just shooting the ball up and away

has the match ended? Are Enyimba out? I weep for Nigerian football

5 mins to go

SIASIA has killed Nigerian football

We are still enjoying FRESH AIR!

Blowing all over our football. Disgusting!

It's all over. Match ends 0 - 0 and Enyimba is eliminated

– For Enyimba, there will be no international football next year as they are far off the pace in the league and lost the final of the Federation Cup.

Enyimba did themselves in by going on the defensive when they played away. They just sat back and offered nothing going forward.

Happy for this, next year will surely be a roller coaster.

What a sad tale. I hope Samson Siasia does not get blamed for this one. You can imagine, delaying the entire league for weeks and this happens.

Whether we accept it or not there is something fundamentally wrong with our football and its collective not personified.

P.S. Osaze could manage a goal today. Says so much.

Osaze plays as if his life depends on it in his club and the results show.
