Enyimba secured a resounding 4-1 triumph over Mozambique’s Black Bulls in their CAF Confederation Cup group-stage clash in Uyo.
The victory marked the Nigerian side’s first win in this season’s competition, providing a much-needed boost to their campaign under head coach Stanley Eguma.
The match began with high energy as Joseph Atule gave Enyimba an early lead in the sixth minute, capitalizing on swift attacking play.
However, the visitors responded swiftly, with Ejaita Ifoni netting an equalizer just six minutes later, keeping the contest fiercely competitive.
Enyimba regained control before the break through Ifeanyi Ihemekwele, whose goal re-established their advantage and set the stage for a dominant second-half performance.
The Nigerian side emerged from the interval with renewed determination, and Brown Ideye delivered a crucial third goal in the 68th minute, skillfully dribbling past the goalkeeper before finding the net.
In the closing moments, Atule added a fourth, completing his brace and sealing an emphatic victory for the Aba-based team.
His second strike underscored Enyimba’s attacking prowess and ensured the team collected all three points in style.
The win lifts Enyimba to third place in Group D with four points from four matches, keeping their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive.
With one victory, one draw, and two losses so far, the team will be looking to build on this result in their upcoming fixture against Egypt’s Al Masry next Sunday.
A win in that match could significantly bolster their chances of advancing further in the competition.
Stanley Eguma’s men demonstrated resilience and attacking flair throughout the encounter, responding decisively to the early pressure from their Mozambican opponents.
The commanding performance will undoubtedly instill confidence as they prepare for the critical stages of their group campaign.
Enyimba’s next task will be to maintain their momentum and secure another vital win at home against Al Masry.
For now, their fans can celebrate a commanding display that showcased the team’s potential and determination to succeed on the continental stage.
