It was a bad day in the office for three Nigerian club sides in their respective CAF competitions this weekend as they all lost the first-leg fixtures of their preliminary round matches.
NPFL Champions Plateau United fell 1-0 at home in Jos against Tanzanian champions Simba SC in a Champions League preliminary round match on Sunday.
The only goal of the game came in the second-half through Cletus Chama, who sliced in a rebound from inside the box.
