EXCLUSIVE: CAF Confederation Cup - Rivers Utd FC will approach Q-Final with a new mentality, approach says Coach

Posted : 21 April 2023
Rivers Utd FC Coach, Stanley Eguma on Friday boasted about his team's chances of upstaging Young Africans of Tanzania in the quarter-final stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation's Cup League.

Eguma said that the Young Africans were beatable come Sunday in the all-important game.

Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that Rivers United has spent the last four seasons hosting Africa's elite football clubs.

In the same period, they have rattled up some famous wins at home with victories against AS Bamako, Al-Merrikh, Wydad AC, Al-Nasr, Motema Pembe, and ASEC Mimosa which represent arguably the Club's finest moments on the Continent. 

In the build-up to Sunday's first-leg tie at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Eguma admits he is expecting to face a different side from the team he led to victory home and away in 2021 and it is an entirely understandable view.

Young Africans were beaten at their own game on their own surface 0-1 and in Port Harcourt 1-0 the last term out with goals from Moses Omodumoke and Uche Onwuasoanya.

The result leaves United in touch in the tie so a confident Eguma sees Sunday's tie as a telling stamp on his footballing passport.

"We are not relying on past performance, no two games are the same. 

``I understand that the Yanga SC has rebuilt its team and they are doing well this time around in the domestic league, they also top their group in the confederation cup.

``We are not looking at what we achieved from them the last time, we are trying to push ourselves more than our capacity.

``It’s not like before, we are coming with a new mentality and approach” - Eguma said.

Rivers United will host Young Africans of Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium at 2. p.m on Sunday, April 23, while the second leg will be played at 5 p.m at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Tanzania on Sunday, April 30.
