Nigerian flagbearers Warri Wolves edged FCMK of Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 in a CAF Confederation Cup second round, first leg match in Warri on Saturday.
Super Eagles’ forward Gbolahan Salami, who celebrated his birthday in mid-week, scored both
goals, the first coming only five minutes after kick-off at the Warri City Stadium.
Nigeria’s only remaining team in the continent then fluffed several chances to add to their advantage, before Salami netted his second with 18 minutes left on the clock.
Wolves have themselves to blame for becoming careless and allowing the visitors to earn an important away goal off a corner kick, and must be prepared for a flaming battle in Central Africa in two weeks.
It will be quite a task against the Congolese side, who pumped Ahly Shandy of Sudan 5-1 in Kinshasa in their first round, second leg match to reach this stage.
