Rivers United defeated FUS Rabat of Morocco 1-0 on matchday 2
in Group A of the CAF Confederation Cup at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port
Harcourt on Wednesday. Emeka
Atuloma was the hero for Rivers United as his goal which came with less
than 20 minutes left secured his team's first win in the group.
The win took Rivers United to third in the group on three points and
they will face KCCA FC of Uganda in
a double header on matchdays 3 and 4.
In the second half Rivers United went in search of the first goal but
FUS held firm to keep the score at 0-0. Rivers eventually found the breakthrough
in the 72nd minute thanks to Atuloma who tapped in Zoumana Doumbia's free-kick at the far post.
FUS almost drew level in the 79th minute but Rotimi made an astounding
save to keep the score at 1-0. FUS continued to press forward for the equaliser
and were denied again by Rotimi with five minutes remaining and in the 90th
minute Odah had a chance to seal up the game for Rivers but was denied at the
near post.
