It was a mixed feeling outing on Saturday for Nigerian club sides campaigning for continental titles in both CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup
Shooting Stars of Ibadan who played host to CS Sfaxien of Tunisia at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, are now walking on a tight rope going into return leg on September 13 , after managing a lone-goal win against the Tunisian giants in the first leg of the preliminary-round in the CAF Confederation Cup
Lucky Emmanuel scored the decisive goal for the Oluyole Warriors who are returning to the Continental football after 27 years of absence, since their 1999 CAF Champions League campaign
They will be traveling to Tunisia for the second leg on Sunday, 13 September.
It was however a better outing for Rivers United of Port-Harcourt who secured a vital one-all draw against the home side,
FC San Pedro in Ivory Coast in their first leg tie in the preliminary-round of CAF Champions League
The result gives the Pride of Rivers a solid platform ahead of the second leg in Nigeria, where victory for the Finidi George tutored will secure a place in the next qualifying round of the competition
