CAF Confederation Cup: Eguma reflects on Rivers United’s victory against ASEC Mimosa

Rivers United head coach, Stanley Eguma has shared his thoughts on his team’s impressive outing against ASEC Mimosa of Cote d’Ivoire.

The Nigeria Premier Football League champions thrashed the Ivorians 3-0 in the CAF Confederation Cup Group B matchday two encounter at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday.

Malachi Ohawume, Ukeme Williams and Dennis Ndasi were on target for the Pride of Rivers in the game.

It was a remarkable turnaround for the hosts, who lost 3-0 to Congo’s Diables Noirs on matchday one.

Eguma was magnanimous despite his side’s victory as he had kind words for the visitors.

“It was a good game and I commend our opponents, they did well. ASEC is a big team, they are former African champions and being in the same group meant we have a strong opponent,” Eguma told reporters after the game.

“After what happened in Congo, we fashioned another strategy to be able to nick a victory today.”
