Aware that they were in grave danger of elimination due to Nairobi United’s two away goals advantage, NEC started the encounter strongly.
The changes reinvigorated the host and it was no surprise when they equalised through Duncan Oluoch in the 65th minute from close-range.
Nairobi United are through to the second preliminary round of the 2025/26 Caf Confederation Cup after securing a 1-1 against Uganda’s National Enterprise Corporation (NEC) in the return leg of the competition’s first preliminary round at Nyayo National Stadium on Saturday.
Naibois booked their ticket to the next round on the away goal rule after a 3-3 aggregate draw. Last week, they held NEC to a 2-2 draw in the first leg played in Kampala.
