SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, (THEWILL) – SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, (THEWILL) – Nigeria’s surviving representative in the CAF Champions League, Plateau United, have been knocked out of the competition.
Plateau United were knocked out despite securing a lone goal victory over Tunisian giants, Etoile du Sahel, on Sunday at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano having been beaten 4-2 in the first leg in Tunis.
The reigning Nigeria Professional Football League champions needed two goals to ensure their passage into the group phase of the CAF Champions League but Tosin Omoyele’s solitary goal was not enough to see Plateau United through.
However, it was Etoile du Sahel who moved on with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline.
Just like MFM FC who were dumped out by MC Alger on Saturday, Plateau United will now wait to see who they will be facing in the second-tier CAF Confederation playoffs.
