A lot of work remains for Enyimba, according to technical adviser Yemi Olanrewaju, before they can be sure of a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage.
In Friday's opening leg of the second preliminary round encounter at the Mamadou Konatè Stadium, the People's Elephant and Etoile Filante of Burkina Faso played to a scoreless draw.
Next weekend, Uyo's Godswill Akpabio International Stadium will host the second leg.
Yemi promised that in the return leg, the squad will play even harder.
"We haven't finished yet. Yemi told BSN Sports after the game, "We can't celebrate anything until we seal everything next weekend in Uyo." A quotation from the game follows.
At this time, a great deal of effort is still required. They are a respectable team, but we were able to out-plan and out-tact them strategically.
In order to complete the task at hand, we must return home to regroup and put in more effort.
The game went well for us. Even though we were clearly superior, it's disappointing that we couldn't dictate the final score.
