Rivers United today proved to be truly ‘The Pride of Rivers’ after they beat hosts Bloemfontein Celtic of South Africa 2-0 in a CAF Confederation Cup Round of 32 first leg match.
The Port Harcourt outfit had to overcome the absence of three players, whose identities were not revealed, who tested positive for Coronavirus before this match.
Godwin Aguda opened scoring for Rivers United midway into the second half for his second goal of this competition, before Fortune Omoniwari doubled their advantage soon after.
The return leg match will be in a fortnight with the overall winners advancing to the final playoff stage of the competition.
