Clubs that will fly Nigeria’s flag in the continent next season have been advised to emulate the fighting spirit of Enyimba International Football Club of Aba. The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sports in Bayelsa State, Dr. Peter Singabele, told Leaguemania at the weekend that any club hoping to succeed in the continent must go for tutorials in Enyimba.

He advised Kano Pillars, Heartland, Bayelsa United and Ocean Boys not to allow themselves to be branded the whipping boys of the continent when continental football actions resume next season.

He, however, called on the sponsors of those teams to make funds avaliable in good time to allow them prepare adequately.

It might interest you to know that Enyimba had won the CAF Champions League two times and are on the verge of winning the third tune with a 2–0 win over Cameroon's Sport Garoua on Sunday in Aba.

Goals from Eze Oturogu and Stephen Worgu on either side of the break secured the victory, which did not come easy for the two-time champions.
Coton Sport, mindful of Enyimba’s reputation, were understandably cautious and defended stoutly, banking on their counter-attacking proficiency to hit Enyimba.

But their tactics suffered a blow when Oturogu fired Enyimba in front just before half time. The league's second highest goal scorer, latched onto a pass inside the box and used his body to hold onhis marker before driving in a left foot shot past the goalkeeper.

Going a goal down sparked the visitors to life, and they pushed forward as the second half kicked off. That proved to be their undoing, as it allowed competition’s top scorer, Worgu a chance to take his tally to 11 goals in the campaign.

Worgu was at the end of a breakaway, kept his composure to bend an exquisite ball past the goalkeeper for Enyimba's second goal.
The win takes the two–time champions to second position behind Sudan’s Al Hilal, who drew 0–0 with TP Mazembe on Saturday.
