Nigeria league all-time highest goalscorer Mfon Udoh was Enyimba's hero after his double propelled the team to the first round of CAF Champions League following a 2-0 home win over Vipers SC in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
Enyimba thus progressed to next month’s first round fixture on a 2-1 aggregate.
Udoh, who netted a record 23 goals two seasons ago, opened the scoring in the 32nd minute courtesy of a spot kick after Vipers Wada Da Wakino pulled Batholomew Ibenegbu down in the box.
He then scored the winner in the 61st minute when he tapped in with a back heel.
