Enyimba face elimination from the African Football League after they went down to a 1-0 defeat against Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco.

Wydad Casablanca took control of the quarter-final contest in the opening minutes.

Enyimba fought hard to get back into the game but couldn’t break down the opposition defence.

The Aba giants were reduced to 10-men when Alalibo Somiari was sent off late in the game.

The reverse fixture will take place next week Wednesday in Casablanca.
