Lobi Stars have been boxed to a tight corner following their 3-1 loss to Gor Mahia in the first leg of the CAF Champions League, first round fixture at the Moi International Sports, Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, Kenya on Sunday.

Towards this end, the Nigeria representatives must score two goals and avoid conceding in the reverse fixture scheduled for next Sunday in Nigeria.

Jacques Tuyisenge gave the host side the lead in the seventh minute with Samuel Onyango adding the second 13 minutes later before Samad Kadiri managed to reduced the deficit for the visitors in the 29th minute.

However Kadiri’s goal failed to make any impact, as Onyango got his second of the day in the 33rd minute to take the game beyond the Nigeria side who struggled to cope with the pace of their opponents.
