The People's Elephant picked up a vital three points in against Djoliba of Mali in their last group encounter to put themselves in a favourable position to advance to the next round.

The game ended in a 1-0 win for Enyimba through a late goal by Augustine Oladapo in additional time.
The result of the game means that Enyimba finished as group winners with 13 points from six games while despite the defeat to CARA Brazzaville they progressed to the next round as runners-up with 10 points as Williamsville were held to a goalless draw in the other group fixture.
