In a twist, Esperance of Tunisia hailed Fidelis Ilechukwu as regards his coaching pedigree after it claimed that his Plateau United are a good team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The four-time CAF Champions League winners got the scare of their lives at the Stade de Olympique, Rades on Saturday night, as they needed a contentious penalty to go past a brave Plateau United.

Esperance who won the last qualifying round on the away goal rule after a 2-2 aggregate scoreline, thus eliminating Plateau United shared a witty post after the game.

"🤝 You have a good team. We wish you the best for the future @plateau_united ❤️💛."

The penalty awarded by the Egyptian ref was a controversial one, as the

incident occurred outside the box, but he pointed to the spot.

Ben Romdhane beat goalkeeper Suraj Ayeleso to send the home supporters into wild jubilation.

Plateau United have now dropped to the second tier, CAF Confederation Cup and will await their next opponents in the playoffs for a chance in the group stage.
