Despite waves of attacks, the record eight-time winners of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), could not breach their opponent’s defence as the first half ended 1-1.
Enyimba’s early pressure on Al Merrikh would, however, be rewarded when Mbaoma netted a second goal from the spot in the 51st minute.
But coach Fatai Osho’s men could not conjure any magic to score three more goals needed to make the next stage of Africa’s premier club football competition.
The 2014 African champions will now play in the second-tier CAF Confederations Cup.

South African Premiership strugglers Chippa United have hired coach Dan Malesela for a fourth stint at the Port Elizabeth club, who sacked him three times.
Former sports minister Fikile Mbalula reacted to the announcement by telling Chippa they must stop abusing Malesela and treating him like a dog .
Chippa owner and millionaire Siviwe Mpengesi has made 28 coaching appointments since the perennial relegation candidates were promoted to the top flight eight years ago.
