Goals from Nyima Nwagua and Naibe Akpesiri made the difference as Rivers United secured their first away win of the season and moved four points clear on top of Group B standing of the Nigeria Premier Football League.
Paul Acquah’s fabulous cut back pass in the 36th minute set up Nyima Nwagua who converted from close range to draw level after Isaac George had given the host the lead in the 16th minute of the match.
The Ghanaian import Paul Acquah was a delight to watch as he crowned his five star performance by grabbing his second brilliant assist of the match setting up Naibe Akpesiri with a low cross that he converted clinically to clinch a hard-fought win.
Albert Korvah had a goal ruled out after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute and United were indebted to Denis Ndasi for a couple of timely interventions – the Cameroonian defender was solid as a part of a back four of Azeez Godswill, Emmanuel Ampiah and Lawrence Edward.
