Rivers United’s technical adviser, Finidi George, expressed contentment after his team defeated Kano Pillars 1-0 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt. Boluwaji Sholumade scored the only goal of the match.
George believes this victory will uplift player spirits, especially following their recent CAF Champions League loss to RS Berkane. He noted the game was difficult, with an initial “sloppy” performance before a determined second-half push.
