Nigeria’s Rivers United FC secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the USM Alger in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation match in Uyo on Sunday.
They pipped the visitors by a lone goal in their first leg quarter-finals clash played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
The Garden City darling team took the match to their opponents from the kick-off and scored their only goal in the eighth minute through Okejepha Augustine.
