Mfon Udoh
fired a hat-trick for Nigeria’s Enyimba on Sunday to take a big step towards
featuring in the group stage of this year’s CAF Champions League after they
defeated Etoile du Sahel from Tunisia 3-0 in Port Harcourt.
The last
time Enyimba played in the money-spinning group phase of the competition was in
2011.
Mfon Udoh
gave Enyimba the lead after nine minutes from the penalty spot.
The home
team piled on more pressure in search of more goals so that the return leg in
Sousse will only be a mere formality.
They doubled
their advantage in the 55th minute through Mfon Udoh for his sixth goal of the
competition.
The striker
tapped in from close range off a long-range drive by Dare Ojo.
This was
after Alaya Brigui had almost drawn Etoile level inthe 50th minute, but Ifeanyi
Anaemena cleared his goal-bound effort.
Etoile
suffered another setback after defender Ghazi Abderrazak was sent off in the
71stminute after his second booking for dissent.
Udoh
completed his treble 10 minutes from time with a right-footed blaster as the
rains came pouring down.
He is now
the leading scorer in the Champions League with seven goals.
