To Enyimba FC, the most glorious fact of the second round of the FIFA Club World Cup was not the fact that they swept Al-Ittihad under the rug, qualifying at their expense, but rather the fact that they ended on the other side of the draw.

It would have been even more painful after all their efforts, hoping to meet Manchester City in the final of the tournament, they ended up meeting them prematurely in the semifinal.

At it seems though, the goddess of luck was smiling on them.
