Nigerian national league side Niger Tornadoes were eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup (CAFCC) by Guinean side Santoba FC despite producing a dogged second leg display in Conakry. However, their horrendous display at home in the first leg where they were defeated 1:2 became the hall mark of their elimination.

Tornadoes held their opponents to a 3-3 draw on a terrible pitch at the September 28 Stadium in Conakry on Friday night but bowed out 4-5 on aggregate.

Forward Segun Alebiosu twice put the Ikon Allah Boys in front in the first half of the game but they were pegged back on each occasion courtesy of strikes by Abdouramane Bah and Gaoussou Siby.

Santoba however went ahead for the first time in the game when Ousmane Camara scored in the 79th minute but Abubakar Bala’s men managed to find an equaliser six minutes from time.

Neither side could find a winner in the closing stages but the first leg advantage was enough to see Santoba through to the first round while Tornadoes now face the realities of second division football back home after their relegation at the end of last term.
