Holders Enyimba through to last eight

The trophy holders Enyimba are through to the group stage

A late David Tyankale goal put holders Enyimba made it through to the group stage of the African Champions League with a 3-2 aggregate win over Angola's Petro Atletico in Luanda.
The match was tantalisingly poised at 2-2 on aggregate - with Enyimba having been held 1-1 in the first leg - when Tyankale scored on 86 minutes.

Emeka Nwanna's 11th-minute strike had seemingly given the Nigerians a crucial advantage.

But the Angolans battled bravely, and were rewarded when Avelino Lopes netted on 70 minutes.

That meant the match seemed to be heading for extra time - until Tyankale struck.

We’re not rated on the Continent,” said Toshack. “British managers are not, coaches are not, players are not. It’s all 4-4-2, hit the front man, get on the second ball. It hasn’t changed. It frustrates me at times, it really does.”

It now makes more sense for the NFA to have denied Enyeama the opportunity of laying in the Unity Cup. Kudos to the NFA for their foresight.
