Rivers
United’s poor form away from home continued on Friday as they suffered a 0-1
defeat to Lobi Stars in a rearranged Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) game decided on Friday at the Aper Aku Stadium, Makurdi.
Second half
substitute, Nanen Imenger scored the winner, six minutes from the end with a
stunning header off an excellent Solomon Kwambe delivery despite Femi Thomas’
best efforts to keep it out.
United
defended stoutly for most parts and looked full value for a share of the spoils
especially after Thomas guessed right to push out Anthony Opkotu’s spot kick in
the 64th minute.
Lobi
dominated the first half headlined by the Rivers United captain, Festus Austine
picking up an injury which now means he is a doubt for the club’s Caf
Confederation Cup game against Ugandan club, KCCA next Tuesday.
The win sees
Lobi Stars move up to third in the NPFL log with 39 points from 25 matches.
Rivers
United remain in 15th place with 30 points from 24 matches.
