CAF expel Enyimba opponets

Algerian club Entente Setif were disqualified
from the CAF Champions League Friday after

crowd trouble during their opening group game,
the African Football Confederation said.
Frustrated as their lacklustre team headed to a
2-0 defeat by Mamelodi Sundowns of South
Africa on June 18, Algerian spectators hurled
various missiles onto the pitch.
Items thrown on the pitch included bottles and
firecrackers and some spectators and security
personnel were injured.
After a fruitless 10-minute attempt to restart
play, the Malian referee abandoned the match
which had reached stoppage time.
Kicking out Setif leaves Sundowns, Enyimba of
Nigeria and Zamalek of Egypt in Group B and the
clubs finishing first and second advance to the
semi-finals.
The other group comprises Al Ahly of Egypt,
ASEC Mimosas of the Ivory Coast, Wydad
Casablanca of Morocco and Zesco United of
Zambia.
Setif are the second club after Etoile Sahel of
Tunisia to be disqualified from the group phase
of the Champions League since its 1997 launch.
