Rivers United secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, to advance to the Round of 16 in the President Federation Cup.


The win was made possible by the heroics of the team’s goalkeeper, Abiodun Akande, who made five incredible saves throughout the match to deny Niger Tornadoes several scoring opportunities.


The lone goal of the match came in the 29th minute, courtesy of Andy Okpe’s expert finishing.


Okpe rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home from a tight angle, capping off a flowing 8-pass move that involved Augustine Okejepha, Anthony Ohaegbu, Kazie Enyinnaya, and Alex Oyowah.


The goal was a testament to the team’s quick passing and movement, as well as Okpe’s clinical finishing ability.


Despite the narrow margin of victory, Rivers United dominated much of the match, with the goalkeeper’s saves and the team’s solid defensive work limiting Niger Tornadoes’ chances.


The win was well-deserved for Rivers United, who will now look to build on this momentum in the next round of the competition.


Rivers United will host Sporting Lagos FC at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday, May 26, as the Nigeria Premier Football League enters matchday 33.
