2025 President Federation Cup: Rivers United FC rout Police Crime Busters in semis

Posted : 13 February 2025

Rivers United FC delivered a commanding performance to storm into the Rivers State FA/President Federation Cup final with a 4-0 rout of non-league side Police Crime Busters in the semi-finals at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.  


The Pride of Rivers have now secured a place in the final with a dominant display.  


The Finidi George-led side had received a bye in the previous round and, therefore, faced a Police Crime Busters team that had earned their semi-final spot with a 3-0 win over Burna Boy Football Academy.  


This encounter was a rematch of the 2022 Rivers State FA Cup final, where Rivers United triumphed 3-1.  


Rivers United’s Emmanuel Nnaji set the ball rolling after 25 minutes, finishing clinically after receiving a brilliant through pass from David Benjamin.  


Just seven minutes later, Timothy Zachariah weaved past the goalkeeper before setting up Ubong Friday for an easy chip into an empty net, doubling United’s lead.  


The two-goal advantage at halftime didn’t slow United down. Sixteen minutes into the second half, they turned up the pressure.  


Abba Suileman beat his marker before delivering a pinpoint cross for Okon Aniekeme, who headed home the third goal.  


Barely two minutes later, the NPFL side struck again. Abba Suileman, replicating his earlier brilliance, delivered another precise cross into the box, allowing Aniekeme to tap in his second goal of the game and seal the emphatic 4-0 win.  


With this ruthless display, the Pride of Rivers sent a clear message to their upcoming opponents in the final.  


They will now turn their focus to their league action, with a clash against former NPFL champions Enyimba at the Elephant Park on Sunday.
