Enyimba held on to CAF Champions League Group A top spot with a 2-0 win over Raja Casablanca on Sunday in Aba.
Uche Kalu scored one and set up Chidozie Johnson for the other as two first half goals proved enough to secure seven points from three games.
Kalu needed just nine minutes to shoot Enyimba in front.
With 27 minutes played, he then showed great hold up play inside the nix before laying up for skipper Johnson to drive home from just inside the box.
Sudan's Al Hilal can go level with Enyimba if they beat Cameroon's Cotonsport later on Sunday.

Anyways, good result for the Aba millionaires in addition to good game.
