Two first half goals from Bernard Ovoke and Frederick Obomate ensured Nigeria’s only representative at this year’s CAF competetion Rivers United ran away with a 2-1 victory over Kampala City Capital Authority in Portharcourt on Tuesday.

Rivers United came into the tie knowing fully well a defeat could signalled the end of their 2016-17 continental campaign and did well enough to earn the maximum points and keep their hopes alive.

Bernad Ovoke put Rivers United in front in the 54 seconds after tapping in Sakin’s ball from the corner kick.


Three minute after the opener, Ovoke splited the KCCA defence to set up Odumegwu who failed to convert the chance begging for a finish.

There was no denying the home team as Frederick Obomate scored from Bernard Ovoke good ball in the 15th minute.

Ovoke who was causing the visitors all kind of troubles could have recorded his brace and increased the home team’s tally to three but he missed from a close range despite being unmarked.
