Tourists have crashed out of this year's CAF Confederation Cup despite recording a 1-0
win against Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) at the Abubarkar
Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi on Sunday.
Mohammad Baba Ganaru
tutored-side had suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Wusum Sports Stadium, Makeni last
week and hope to turn things around to book a passage to the next stage of the
competition. But Mustapha Ibrahim’s lone strike in Bauchi was not enough to
guarantee their passage to the first round stage.
The Big Elephnats started the must-win encounter brightly with possessions but Abubakar Lawal
missed an opportunity to put the host ahead from the spot in the opening 20
minutes.
However,
Ibrahim wasted no time firing the Bauchi based side in front in the 58th minute
in the second stanza.
In the last
15 minutes, Wikki pressed hard for another goal in bid to drag the match into
an extra-time but the visitors defended tirelessly to earn progress with a 2-1
aggregate win.
