In a riveting lead-up to the much-anticipated CAF Confederation Cup’s first Preliminary Round return leg encounter against Aso Chlef this Saturday, Bendel Insurance is setting its sights on a dramatic clash in Algeria.
The Benin-based powerhouse, affectionately known as the “Benin Arsenal,” secured a crucial 1-0 triumph in the first leg with Imade’s clinical strike on their home turf.
Imade Osarenkhoe, who has seamlessly carried his momentum from the previous season, once again stunned fans with a jaw-dropping opening goal this season in the 42nd minute.
The Black Bullet, Imade displayed his impeccable dribbling ability by slicing through the opposition’s defensive ranks, clinching the decisive goal.
The visiting team could only watch as the young striker took his chances to hand his team the crucial goal in front of their home fans.
So far so good, the relentless Adaaa Bendel side has only conceded just two defeats throughout this year, an impressive record heading into the clash with Aso Chlef in Algiers.
While a slender 1-0 lead might seem precarious as they head to North Africa, hopes are high for the NPFL side to come out successful in the imminent second leg.
Regrettably, Elegbete Tv Owner, Edafe Matthew EseOghene, holds a different idea.
He strongly believes that a miracle of epic proportions will be required for the Benin Gunners to emerge triumphant against the formidable Aso Chlef.
In his own words:
“It would take a miracle of grandiose proportion in Algeria for Bendel to Adaaaaaa.”
With their eyes set on victory, the squad embarks on a journey from Benin to Lagos, where they will catch a connecting flight to Algiers.
The much-awaited showdown is slated to commence at 8 pm in the Salem Mabrouki Stadium, nestled in Rouiba, Algeria.
This impressive arena promises an electrifying and exhilarating battle on the hallowed turf.
