Nigeria’s representative in CAF Confederation Cup, Rivers United would go all out for a home win in today’s CAF Confederation Cup home tie against FUS Rabat of Morocco at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt. Rivers United are going into the tie conscious of the fact that anything short of the maximum points would mean end of the road for them in the competition as emerging from the group would become a herculean task.
The Stanley Eguma coached side started the group stage campaign on a poor note when they fell 1-3 away to Club Africain in Tunis. United cannot afford another slip up, especially against the backdrop of the fact that FUS Rabat won their first game at home. The Moroccan side recorded a comprehensive 3-0 victory over KCCA of Uganda in their first game to take leadership of the group.
Eguma had ahead of the clash promised fans of the club of his wards commitment to deliver the game.
KCCA of Uganda in the other match of the group decided yesterday in Kampala secured a 2-1 victory over Club Africain, a result that throws the group open. Rivers United is the only Nigerian club still in the race for continental glory this term. The trio of Rangers, Wikki Tourists and FC IfeanyiUbah has since been knocked out of the continental competition.
