Nigeria’s Rivers United of Port-Harcourt on Sunday scaled through to the next round of the CAF Champions League, after defeating Young Africans of Tanzania 2-0 on aggregate in the previous round.
Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL Champions, Akwa United of Uyo however crashed-out of the most prestigious African clubs competition,after failing to hold on to their lone-goal first leg win, losing two nil to host, Belouizdad of Algeria in return match
The Pride of Rivers which recorded impressive showing against Tanzania’s Young Africans 1-0 victories in each leg,will now confront the Sudanese giants,Al Hilal FC of Omdurman in the next round in October
It will be a much tougher encounter for the Stanley Eguma tutored side who are still confident of their good outing in the first round and will be seeking a better performance against the Sudanese heavyweights who conceded three times against Ethiopia’s Fasil Kenema in the previous round.
