However, the Tunisians may well rue the many wasted chances when the two sides collide again in Abuja, Nigeria, on 12 December. Both sides finished the match with 10 men as Etoile Sahel came from a goal down to beat the Nigerian club, who were the first team to be reduced to ten men after only 31 minutes. (BBC, Reuters)
