Enyimba lost 1-0 in their opening group game to Zamalek at the Adokiye Anamesiamaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.

Bassem Morsy's first half header were all Mohammed Helmy's needed to secure a vital away win against the wasteful People's Elephants.

Paul Aigbogun’s men underlined their tournament credentials with an insipid display against a rigid Zamalek defence, which suddenly fell apart in the seventh minute to let Morsy head in.

All of the incisive passing and movement that had served Aigbogun’s men so well against Etoile du Sahel completely deserted them in a first half devoid of chances, with Joseph Osadiaye and Mfon Udoh unable to get close to some probing crosses from the midfield. 

Zamalek also appeared too cautious to truly threaten, dominating possession but rarely committing men forward, with Ahmed Tawfik dropping into the clutches of Ikechukwu Ibenegbu in midfield all too often.

Enyimba would be hoping to bouncing back when they face Mamelodi Sundowns on June 29 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Pitso Mosimane’s Sundowns began their own campaign by grabbing a 2-0 victory against Algeria’s ES Setif with goals from Tiyani Mabunda and Khama Billiat.
