The Warri Wolves on
Sunday afternoon crashed out of the CAF Confederation Cup when they lost to
C.A.Bizertin by two goals to one with the match Officials from Sudan serving as
a kill joy.
The game started on a
fast note with the Bizerte boys taken the battle to Warri Wolves and their
effort paid off in the 7th minute when Harbaoui Hassen scored the first goal
with their vociferous fans behind them.
Musa Najare restored
sanity when he slotted home a pass from Stanley Dimgba who had out witted
Mathlouthi Hamza and on rushing Machani Ali in the 27th minute to silence
the home crowd.
However, center referee,
Mutaz Adbelbassit Khairalla from Sudan who had given Ike ThankGod a yellow card
in the 31st minute gave him the a second one when a shot touched his hand and
the home team seized that opportunity to unleashed more terror but the defence
of Warri Wolves stood their ground until the 41st minute when Oke Ogagotewho
failed to clear a lose ball and Bizertin striker, Rejaibi Adem had no choice
than to give them the second goal.
The second half was well
fought with Ibenegbu Ikechukwu sustaining an injury which ruled him out and he
was replaced by Azubuike Egwuekwe in the 75th minute.
Coach Paul Aigbogun
introduced Joshua Obaje in place of Michael Egbeta while Josiah Maduabuchi
replaced Stanley Dimgba who was the man of the match but their effort could not
do much as the first assistant referee, Walid Ahmed Ali served as a bus stop,
raising his flag for any move, thus ending the match 2-1.

match are Okiemute Odah in goal, Goodluck Onamado, Ojo Mine, Ike ThankGod,
Bright Akpojuvwewo, Egbeta Michael, Ibenegbu Ikechukwu, Najare Musa, Anubi Kola
