Rivers United on Sunday, defeated Go Round FC 1:0 at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium Portharcourt , in the first historic Rivers Derby in the NPFL match day 7 fixtures.
An Oche Salefu 82nd minute penalty was the difference after Go Round’s Awala fouled Akinbinu in the box.
In his reaction after the game, Coach Eguma commended the efforts of his players for getting the three points.
On his side’s next away game against Yobe Stars and on getting away points since the start of the season , Eguma said that his side is desperate:
“We would go there with the hope of wiining the game, you know we’ve travelled three times and have not gotten points, so we’re very desperate.
“We are going there for the three points or at worse a point, but we must surely go for three points because at this point in time if we don’t get points now, it’s going to be difficult for us and so we have to start getting points.
“The players are aware of this and we’ll work as a team and see that we get the needed result from Yobe”
Rivers United sit 10th on the NPFL log after match day 7 and will travel to Yobe to take on Yobe Stars at the Damaturu Stadium on Sunday 11th February, 2018 in a match day 8 tie.
