Only one Nigerian football club, Rivers United, remain in the hunt for a continental title. The Stanley Eguma-led side progressed to the CAF Confederation Cup group stage with a 6-1 aggregate victory over Libyan side Al Nasr SC on Wednesday night. The Port Harcourt-based side drew 1-1 with Al Nasr SC, after taking a 5-0 into the second leg. After a barren half hour, Al Nasr broke the deadlock through Abdulsalam Al Fitouri who went past Rivers United’s goalkeeper, Seidu Mutawakilu, in the 39th minute but Rivers United cancelled the lead with Nyima Nwagua’s strike in the 57th minute. Before Rivers United took to the pitch, their compatriots, Plateau United, suffered an embarrassing loss to another Libyan opponent, Al Akhdar.
