Enyimba put up a brave display to draw 1-1 with Bidvest Wits in the first leg clash of the Confederation Cup round of 16.
The People’s Elephants played the South African side at the Bidvest Stadium on Friday.
Coach Paul Aigbogun would be indebted to his goalkeeper Fatau Dauda who made a few great saves to deny the hosts.
The two-time CAF Champions League winners conceded barely three minutes into the game.

A mistake by the defence gifted Daine Klate an easy goal to hand the Clever Boys an early lead.
But Enyimba were up to the task and promptly equalised through Mustapha Ibrahim.
The former El-Kanemi Warriors forward coolly slotted his effort past Moeneeb Josephs in the fifth minute.
