Rivers United have qualified for the
CAF Confederation Cup group stage, despite a 0-0 draw with Rayon Sports at the
Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Nigeria Professional Football
League, NPFL, side had won the first leg 2-0 in Port Harcourt, thanks to goals
from Guy Kuemian and Emeka Atuloma.
Rivers United played most part of
the second half with 10 men, after Ifeanyi Nweke was sent off in the 58th
minute.
According to reports, the Port
Harcourt club is the only Nigerian team left in continental competition this
season, following the early exits of Enugu Rangers, FC IfeanyiUbah and Wikki
Tourists.
Head coach of Rivers United, Willy
Udube, had vowed that they will work hard, to avoid a repeat of what happened
to them in the CAF
Champions League against El Merreikh of Sudan.
