Warri Wolves have qualified for the second round of the CAF Confederation Cup with a 4-3 aggregate win, despite playing out a 1-1 draw with Union Douala of Cameroon in Warri on Sunday.
The 2013 Cameroonian Premier League third place finishers suffered a shocking 2-3 home loss in Cameroon in the first leg against Nigeria’s 2013 Federation Cup runners-up last weekend.
Sunday's stalemate was produced through spot kicks for both teams all in the second half of the game.
Musa Najare missed a string of chances in the first half to leave the Nigerian campaigners in search of an all-important goal to consolidate on their first leg advantage over their visitors.
Incidentally, it was wasteful Najare that converted a 78th minute spot kick earned by Warri Wolves after Oghenekaro Etebo was brought down in the area to secure the lead but failed to hold out for victory.
The spirited visitors pulled one back through Djumo Tchan Christian from the spot in added time, but efforts were not enough to see them through as the Nigerian side advanced on 4-3 agregate.
The Seasiders have been rewarded with a second round draw against CA Bizertin of Tunisia who dumped out Desportivo da HuĂla of Angola 3-0 on aggregate.
Wolves will host the Tunisia Cup winners on March 23before travelling a week later to Tunisia for the return fixture.
