Al-Ittihad’s quest to walk over Enyimba was turned down. Enyimba even made attempts to influence CAF to accept the tie to be one-off but the request was turned down. But instead of Enyimba to begin preparations for the match, appealed for the match to be moved to December 31. Time however was too short for the Aba team to begin preparations to travel in barely 48 hours. Enyimba FC’s Chairman, Felix Anyasi-Agwu in his reaction described the walk over as part of ‘Arab conspiracy’ in African inter-clubs football.
