CAF Confederation Cup: Rivers United targets home victory
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.
United are going into the tie aware 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 mission impossible.
The Stanley Eguma tutored side started the group stage
campaign on a poor note when they fell 1-3 away to Club Africain in Tunis.
Another slip today is something they cannot afford, 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 assured fans of the club that
his wards won’t disappoint.
“We know what is at stake and would put in everything to win
in front of our fans,” Eguma said.
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 are the only Nigerian club still in the
race for continental glory this term. The trio of Rangers, Wikki Tourists and
FC IfeanyiUbah has since forgotten that they made a continental appearance this
term after being despatched early in the very first round.
