Enyimba’s poor run this year has ended with an exit at the semi-final of the Federation Cup at the hands of Nasarawa United today in Ibadan.
This will certainly be a forgettable year for the seven-time Nigeria champions after they lost their championship to regional rivals Enugu Rangers and crashed out in the group stage of the CAF Champions League without much of a fight.
They will not play international football next year after they finished outside the top-3 in the league.
Nasarawa won 1-0 through a penalty taken by Seun Sogbeso in the first half.
The Lafia club will now face FC IfeanyiUbah in the final.
Enyimba goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai fouled goal-bound Abdulrahman Bashir inside the box for Sogbeso to put away the resulting penalty.
