Enyimba beat home team Rahimo of Burkina Faso 1-0 to keep Nigeria’s already fading hopes in continental competitions alive.
Striker Victor Mbaoma scored the only goal of the match after 76 minutes.
Several key players were not available for the two-time African champions.
This was the only victory recorded by a Nigerian club after the weekend after Kano Pillars and Rivers United lost in the CAF Confederation Cup and Plateau also faltered in the Champions League.
Kano Pillars fell 3-1 to ASC Jaraaf of Senegal, while Rivers United lost 2-1 to Futuro Kings.
Plateau United lost by the odd goal in Jos to Simba SC from Tanzania.
