After defeating Rivers United 1-0 in a tense South-South derby, Akwa United Football Club of Uyo became the first team to secure a semi-final spot in the ongoing Naija Super 8 event.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the match was played at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos, on Monday.
The result sent Rivers United crashing out of the competition after they lost their opening two matches in Group B. Rivers United, who were the better side in most of the first half, failed to utilise the clear scoring opportunities they had.
