Warri Wolves FC defeated Dedebit FC of Ethiopia 2-0 on Saturday in their CAF Confederation Cup first round, first leg match at the Warri City Stadium.
Nigeria’s U-23 team striker, Etebo Oghenekaro, scored after eight minutes, but the expected avalanche refused to materialize as the Nigerian representatives then found it difficult dominating their opponents.
Wolves had dismissed Racing Club Bobo-Dioulasso 3-0 in their preliminary round, second leg clash at the same venue, but struggled to get past Dedebit, who pumped Cote d’Or of Seychelles home and away in the earlier round.
Returnee forward, Gbolahan Salami, made the scoreline respectable for the Nigerians when he tucked in a penalty kick awarded the Nigerians 10 minutes to the end.
The return leg will take place in Addis Ababa in two weeks.
