FC IfeanyiUbah of Nnewi on Sunday in Ismaila crashed out of the 2017 CAF Confederation Cup competition, after losing to hosts Al Masry of Egypt.

The Nigerian side had defeated visiting Al Masry 1-0 on Feb. 12 through a Tame Medrano 87th minute goal, and needed to avoid defeat to advance.

But they also lost by the same margin to Al-Masry, after a first half goal.

With a 1-1 aggregate end to the two legs of the fixture, the tie had to be decided by a penalty shootout which the Egyptian side went on to win 3-0.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that FC IfeanyiUbah’s loss meant Nigeria no longer has any representative in the 2017 edition of the competition.

Earlier in the day, the other Nigerian representative, Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi, could not overcome RSLAF of Sierra Leone in spite of a home win.

They won 1-0 in Bauchi, but it was not enough as they crashed out on a 1-2 aggregate, having lost 0-2 in the first leg on Feb. 12. (Abolade Ogundimu/NAN)
