Ovoke's Late Cameo Key as Enyimba Battles to 1-1 Draw



Benard Ovoke made a brief but vital appearance as Enyimba FC battled to a 1-1 draw against Al Masry SC in their CAF Confederation Cup encounter yesterday. Substituted in for goal scorer Ifeanyi Ihemekwele in the 87th minute, Ovoke's introduction added composure to the team as they fought to maintain their defensive structure.



Ihemekwele had earlier put Enyimba in front with a decisive strike, giving the Nigerian side hope for an important away victory. However, Al Masry equalized late in the second half, intensifying pressure on the visitors. Despite relentless attacks from the Egyptian side, Enyimba’s defense, reinforced by Ovoke’s presence, held firm to preserve the draw.

The result is a significant point for Enyimba as they continue their quest for continental glory. With this performance, the People’s Elephant remains competitive in a challenging group, setting the stage for an intense battle in the remaining fixtures.
