Kano Pillars will tackle fellow Nigerian club Heartland in the semi-finals of this year's CAF Champions League early next month after both teams finished top and runners-up of their respective groups.
Pillars finished with 11 points from six matches after they drew 1-1 with El Merriekh late on Saturday in Sudan to top Group A, while Heartland fell 2-1 to Zimbabwe's Monomotapa in Harare to relinquish the leadership of Group B to TP Mazembe of DR Congo.
Mazembe defeated Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia 1-0 at home to finish top of Group B on 12 points, two points ahead of Heartland.
Pillars will host the first leg of their semi-finals with Heartland on October 3, while the return leg is slated for two weeks later at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri.
Enyimba are the only Nigerian club to have won the continent's elite club contest, when they triumphed in 2003 and 2004.
