Although Enyimba FC’s campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup came to an end after a 3-1 loss to Zamalek in Egypt last weekend, the Nigerian club’s star forward, Ifeanyi Ihemekwele, has left a lasting impression on the competition. The talented striker has emerged as one of the top scorers in the tournament, with an impressive tally of 4 goals.
Ihemekwele’s impressive form has seen him finish just behind Algerian striker Ismail Belkacemi, who tops the chart with 5 goals. The Nigerian forward’s goalscoring exploits have been a highlight of Enyimba FC’s campaign, and his performance will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the bright spots in the team’s otherwise disappointing outing.
Other top scorers in the competition include Denis Kibu of Tanzania, Issoufou Dayo of Burkina Faso, Ben Youssef Fakhreddine of Tunisia, Seifeddine Jaziri of Tunisia, and Youssef Zghoudi of Morocco, all of whom have scored 3 goals each.
Despite Enyimba FC’s exit from the competition, Ihemekwele’s impressive display has shown that Nigerian football has a lot to offer. The 24-year-old striker’s performance has caught the attention of football fans across the continent, and he will undoubtedly be one to watch in the future.
As the CAF Confederation Cup progresses to the knockout stages, fans will be eagerly anticipating the next round of matches. Although Enyimba FC will not be participating, Ifeanyi Ihemekwelele’s impressive performance has left a lasting impression on the competition.
