Lobi Stars of Makurdi have found themselves in a tight corner as they lost 1-0 to visiting Wydad Casablanca of Morocco in group A CAF Champions League match the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium, Enugu yesterday. Lobi failed to recover from a 29th minute goal scored by Wydad ‘s Mohammed Nahiri after teammate Mohamed Ounajem was tripped by Lobi’s Sanni Mama Bah-Yere in the box.
Ahmed Tagnaouti of Wydad was the busier goalkeeper and did well to get down and push away a Yaya Kone header before half-time on a scorching afternoon in Enugu. Lobi offered little going forward and when they occasionally threatened, Tagnaouti was there to thwart them and ensure the Moroccans retained their advantage.
