Match Review: Al Masry 2-0 Enyimba
Enyimba’s struggles on the continental stage continued as they fell to Al Masry in their opening CAF Confederation Cup Group D fixture. Despite a good performance from their goalkeeper, who made over five crucial saves to keep the scoreline respectable, the People’s Elephant couldn’t find the cutting edge in the final third.
The game was ultimately decided by Al Masry’s superior precision in attacking areas, exploiting Enyimba’s lack of composure and poor decision-making in key moments. Enyimba’s inexperienced squad once again showed flashes of potential but lacked the discipline and maturity needed to compete effectively at this level.
This loss extends Enyimba’s winless streak in CAF competitions to seven matches — their longest ever. With this form, the road ahead looks daunting, especially as they prepare to face Zamalek in the next round. A major turnaround will be needed if Enyimba hopes to salvage their campaign and break their alarming slump.
