The next day, the Enyimba FC squad finally went to the Cairo International Airport. It was time to go home.
Every one of the players was in a good mood, including their usually stern coach, Coach Yemi Daniel. It may seem like just any other football game but what they achieved yesterday was legendary.
Making it to the final of the CAF champions league in itself was already legendary, but it was the circumstances surrounding their qualification that made it even more legendary. Enyimba FC were the big underdogs yesterday.
Due to their form in the champions league, they were rated fairly in the semifinal, but their opponent was Al Ahly, the Egyptian footballing giants, a club that had a genuine stake as the best in all of Africa.
Not only were they playing against Al Ahly, but it was the return leg game played in the iconic home stadium of their opponents.
