Enyimba International FC’s remarkable 4-1 triumph over Mozambique’s Black Bulls in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage has resulted in two of their players being selected for the Sofascore CAF Team of the Week.
Chikamso Okechukwu, a cornerstone of Enyimba’s defense, played a crucial role in organizing the backline, demonstrating exceptional skill in dispossessing opponents. His outstanding display at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo garnered the attention of Sofascore, earning him a well-deserved position in the Team of the Week as a central defender.
On the offensive front, Joseph Atule shone brightly, netting two goals and providing an assist during Enyimba’s commanding victory. His speed, technical ability, and tactical awareness posed significant challenges for the Black Bulls’ defense, and his recognition by CAF underscores his rising status as one of the premier forwards in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The acknowledgment of Okechukwu and Atule by CAF serves as a significant morale boost for Enyimba, who are striving to reestablish themselves in the tournament. This victory has reinvigorated their campaign in Group D, and they aim to maintain this positive momentum in their forthcoming matches.
Looking ahead, their next CAF Confederation Cup clash against Egypt’s Al Masry on Sunday, January 19th, 2025, is set to be an exhilarating matchup, with Enyimba eager to capitalize on their recent achievements and make a strong impression against one of the competition’s leading teams.
