In a thrilling encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Thursday, Rivers United defeated DC Motema Pembe 3-1 in a CAF Confederation Cup match.
Rivers United’s Ghanaian striker, Paul Acquah, was the hero; scoring all three goals for the reigning Nigeria League champions.
The Nigerian side dominated from the start of the game but didn’t find a way past their Congolese opponent until late in the first half, when Acquah scored the first of his three goals after receiving a good pass from Ukeme Williams.
