Nigeria’s representatives Enyimba and Remo Stars have both crashed out of the CAF Champions League after they lost in the preliminary stages.
Nigerian champions Enyimba were held to a 0-0 draw by Libya’s Al Ahly Benghazi in Aba on Sunday.
The result was not enough to send the Aba side through as they had fallen to a 4-3 defeat in the first leg in Libya last week.
The home fans were left disappointed at the end, as a 1-0 win would have been enough to take Enyimba through to the second round.

The Sky Blue Stars won the preliminary round second leg tie 1-0 to push the tie to shootout, having lost 1-0 in the first leg last week.
The Daniel Ogunmodede side then converted two penalties in the shootout, while Medeama netted three of their spot kicks to win the tie.
