Caf Champions League: Enyimba coach Abd’Allah relieved after big win over Rahimo

Enyimba coach Usman Abd’Allah has admitted his team’s progress to the next phase of the Caf Champions League was a big relief after they needed to upturn the defeat suffered in the first-leg.

Having lost 0-1 in the first leg in Ougadougou a fortnight ago, the People's Elephant required a two-goal victory but got much more as they pummeled Rahimo 5-0 in Sunday’s reverse fixture in Aba.

A solitary goal in the first half and four more in the second helped Enyimba advance in style to the next round of the Champions League with a 5-1 aggregate win over their opponents from Burkina Faso.
