CAF CL: 'Al-Ahly fans attacked me in Libya' -- Enyimba goalkeeper Ojo talks tough ahead of second leg

Olorunleke Ojo, the captain and goalkeeper of Enyimba FC, says fans of Al-Ahly Benghazi “hurled firecrackers and bottled water” at him during their CAF Champions League encounter in Libya.In a chat with TheCable, Ojo said the Nigerian club suffered “intimidation” at the hands of Al-Ahly Benghazi fans.

“Both goalposts were close to where their fans were camped and it was not really easy. Despite the intimidation and other stuff directed at me from the stands, I was able to pull myself together and stand firm.” “If we can get one-third of the support from spectators and our fans [on Sunday] the same way [Al-Ahly Benghazi fans] gave their players in Libya, there is no way they will escape defeat here,” he said.

Ojo said the team’s mood is positive, adding that the “Chijioke Mboama-led attack will be on a goal-scoring spree”.“The mood has been okay, we have put the result behind us and everybody is in a good state of mind, feeling no pressure and ready to go again in the second leg, including our attack. They had a good game in Libya and I pray they carry the same form to the game on Sunday, individually and as a team,” he said.
