This will certainly not be cheering news for Nigeria champions Enyimba as their CAF Champions League second round return leg match against Etoile du Sahel in Tunisia will be handled by Moroccan referees.

Enyimba have taken a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Nigeria on Sunday, but Etoile hope they could overturn this deficit to reach the money-spinning group stage of the Champions League.

Moroccan referee Noureddinne El Jaafari will be assisted by compatriots Hicham Ait Abbou and Youssef Mabrouk for a game involving a team from fellow North African country.
