Football: Nigerians score to give Sudanese club vital win

OMDURMAN, Sudan, July 22, 2007 (AFP) - Nigerians Ezeh Ndubuisi and Yusuf Mohamed scored as Al-Hilal of Sudan snatched a vital 2-1 win over ASEC of Ivory Coast in the African Champions League Sunday.

Another `import`, Ghanaian Nafiu Iddrisu, equalised for ASEC soon after half-time in a tense Group B clash before a 40,000 crowd crammed into the National Stadium in steamy Omdurman.

It was a must-win match for Hilal and they overcame booing from their normally ultra partisan supporters before midfielder Mohamed grabbed the winner seven minutes from full-time.
