The two-time African champions, Enyimba of Aba were miserable on Thursday as they crashed 3-0 to a superior Wydad Casablanca side in Morocco in the Inaugural edition of the CAF, African Football League.

Enyimba lost the first-leg 1-0 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Sunday, thanks to  Yahya Jabrane’s goal from the spot before the 3-0 drubbing at the Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca.

Ayoub El Amloud gave the hosts the lead in Morocco just four minutes into the encounter before Jamal Harkass added the second in the 38th minute.

Yahia Attiyah Allah made it three in the 43rd minute to put the game beyond the reach of the Nigeria Premier Football League champions.

Ilyes Chetti almost made it 4-0 for the North Africans in the 72nd minute but Ojo Olorunleke rushed out of his line to prevent the Moroccan from causing danger.

Olorunleke was called into action again in the 78th minute after making an acrobatic save to stop a goal-bound header.

There were more worries for Enyimba after duo Ezekiel Ngomere and Murphy Ndukwu went down in the 84th minute with both players requiring medical attention before getting back on their feet.

It was a complete dominance from Wydad, who had 63 per cent of possession, compared to Enyimba’s 37.

Adil Ramzi’s men had 14 shots, with six of them on target, while Finidi George’s side managed only three shots, with just one on target.

Enyimba, will however still earn $1m despite crashing out at the opening phase of the money-spinning Africa Football League.
