Rivers United Suffered 1-0 loss in Abia


A twenty four minutes goal scored by Michael Olaha of Abia Warriors was enough to settle a scrappy Nigeria Professional Football League contest between Abia Warriors and Rivers United on Sunday at the Umuahia Township stadium.

The Warriors won 1-0 in a game that promised so much but delivered so little as a result of heavy rains which rendered the pitch almost unplayable. 
 The hosts would have doubled their lead in the final minute of added time after Rivers United conceded a penalty with captain, Austin Festus handling the ball in the box.
With the defeat, Rivers United now occupies the sixth position on the league table with 28 points from 17 matches while Abia Warriors Football club moves to the second position on the league table with 30 points from 16 matches.
