Solid trampling over Buffles.

Now how insane was that?
3-0 in a game that we probably could have done a ‘Bayern Munich’ on our opponents.

No doubt If anyone had offered us 3-0 before kickoff, we would have grabbed it with both hands but looking back at what happened in that game and what eventually was the score line, it almost wants to feel like a defeat. That’s how crazy yesterday’s game was.

Kadiri Ikhana made some interesting selections, opting for Idris Aloma at left back ahead of Uwadiegwu who infant was not even in the match day squad. Peter Onyekachi was understandably preferred to Rafael Boumsong as Chinonso Okonkwo’s strike partner. Etor and Abalogu on the flanks while Sokari and Sikiru, another surprise inclusion, were in the number ’10’ and ‘4’ positions respectively. Ejiogu is goal, Emma Anyanwu and Chinedu Udoji on Bright Eseme’s left in the center back position.

We got off to a flier and from the first minute we knew it was attack attack attack all the way and after a couple of missed early chances, Etor gave us the lead. You look back at that goal and you wonder where Peter Onyekachi gets his strength from. Fine work on the left to keep the ball in play, the drive to square for Etor, unmarked at the back post to tap in. Dream start.

Then what followed was a comedy of misses. Comical to say the least. Abalogu, Onyekachi, Okonkwo and Etor all taking turns to. The misses were just unbelievable such that at some point you wonder what in the world was going on. By the time we were going in for half time. You would’ve felt we should have been 4 goals up.

Second half started and it was same story. Etor fired wide at an open goal and Anazemeba took his place. We now had more bodies in the middle and thus attacked even more. A swift counter saw Peter bundled down in the area. Nzube would stand before the spot kick and after what felt like eternity, he ballooned his spot kick high and wide of the goal. This of course was after he had hit the woodwork from 25 yards.

Shortly the sleeping visitors went ahead and in one mad Ejiogu moment, the keeper found himself in no man’s land. Thankfully Aloma was behind him and he cleared off the line. Don’t even try to imagine it. 1-1? Tufiakwa.

As the game was drawing to a close, you knew 1-0 was never going to enough especially against a team we had beaten blue and black. Abalogu was withdrawn for Boumsong. All three match day strikers now on the pitch. Okonkwo moved to the right.

Finally, the second goal game in the 83rd minute. Bright Esieme galloped down the right and crossed. The defenders all had their eyes on the strikers and forgot Bobby Sokari at the back post. The number 10 simply nodded in to calm flaring Aba nerves. And by the way, did I tell you we had a capacity crowd? The stadium was filled to the brim. Check out some pictures on the @enyimbaenyi Twitter handle.

2-0 was better than 1-0 and we could take that but the boys had better plans. The third goal was the best for me because not only did it make moving into the next round more likely, it also was good reward for Peter who had a fantastic Enyimba debut. That guy if he stays focused will be a star in the National team in the near future. Okonkwo crossed into the area and he nipped it in ahead of the couple trying to tack him in the box. 3-0. Game Over.

What a game.

Well I just tried to tell the match story, tomorrow I will try to do some analysis of the game and the impact this scoreline but for now let’s enjoy this very difficultly earned 3-0.

Buffles de Borgou v Enyimba FC

CAF CL - Prelim Rnd 2

From the stables of @EnyimbaFC
By: Farriel Allaputa Date: 15 February 2015

Enyimba began this year's CAF Champions League opener almost as they had last year. A quick start, a quick goal, then big misses, then frustration but eventually, sweet victory.

While Anges de Notse could breach Femi Thomas' goal, Buffles struggled to deal with Chinedu Udoji, Idris Aloma and Emmanuel Anyanwu. Finding goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu and testing him was an altogether impossible task. The only time they did, 20 minutes before the end, Idris Aloma was in the way after Ejiogu had been beaten and cleared the ball to safety.

There was much talk about Enyimba's readiness for the game after their less than stellar Super 4 performances, but on an afternoon when it really mattered, Kadiri Ikhana's men were deadly.

Buffles de Borgou, a little known club from Parakou in the eastern region of Benin Republic, playing in their first CAF Champions League game conceded their first CAF Champions League goal in the 7th minute, Enyimba's Daniel Etor the finisher with a simple tap in.

The second came six minutes from full time, Sokari Kingsley, in the form of his life, leaping above the Buffles defence to head past Souradjou Soffo. Peter Onyekachi made it three in the final minute of stoppage time and the thousands inside the stadium showed their appreciation.

Between Etor's opener and Kingsley's header, Enyimba had missed opportunities to score at least 5 goals. Even substitute Nzube Anaezemba missed a spot kick in the 82nd. But for all their lack of precision in front of goal, Enyimba maintained an incredible pressure on Buffles and ultimately secured a big win that all but puts them in the First Round.

The return leg will be played in a fortnight.

Enyimba fans should follow this man on twitter: https://twitter.com/EnyimbaEnyi
From him, Mfon Udoh and Rasheed Olabiyi are back in the Enyimba squad..
Great news

uduokirika1:
In less than a weeks time Enyimba will commence its continental clash, yet nothing has been heard of Mfon Udoh and Olabiyi Raheed? who knows there way about? somebody help?

It seems Olabiyi may not return, it is strange.
For Mfon, I last heard he is in Uyo and will return to Enyimba

redcap:
True talk but most of his campaign posters suggests he isn't a serious minded person.he cut out as though he is canvassing for vote to win MTN project fame.

So he should frown all the way to look serious?

Im really quite disappointed bros Seun allowed this crap to the frontpage. Were is the source/proof that Fashola witheld the Igbo PVCs? My dad, a yoruba has gone more than 5 times to collect his, but not available. Yet cuz about 5 Lagosians of the Igbo tribe didnt get theirs, it means Fash witheld the PVCs of all Igbos.
#Smh Nairaland encourages tribalism

2pence:
How can you even cite lack of fitness as an excuse ?what about the dream team ? are they not professional footballers

Guy, you be learner as Ive seen from this quoted post. You also didnt know that is why this tournament was organised. It's because of 1. Test the preparation of the clubs (fitness level) 2. Allow clubs to try their new players.
Before the tourney began, Enyimba said they are not in it to win buh to get back into shape (fitness) so man, you cant know berra than the Enyimba trainers.

Op (and others who share same view), please can you elaborate on why/how you found Django difficult/complex?
I dont understand why many "mostly" Nigerians run from Django which is unarguably the best.
No framework is easy to learn in the first place. If you find Django difficult, it's simply because you arent so good in Python and need to learn more.
Django is Python!

Obviously, some of you dont follow Nigerian league. The flying eagles have been together training for many months whereas Enyimba, Dolphins started training for the super6 a few days before the tourney.
The U20s are good, no doubt, but the lack of match fitness from the clubs made their job easy.

The referee has explained the reason for the foul: "dangerous play in the 18yard box".

uduokirika1:
Thank GOD OH 'cos it is better for him to be club less than Play in Belaruz!!!!!!!!!!!! chaiii

Lol buh he is now a free-agent and wont play football till the next transfer window. He'd lose form.

Wolves steals 2 Enyimba players again: Ayo saka and Semiu Liadi

Tactics like what Atleti Madrid does to Barca. High press giving the opponents no room to breathe.

Evestar200:
