Rivers United continued their impressive form in the 2023/2024 NPFL season with a solid 2-0 win over Shooting Stars in their Round 7 fixture on Thursday.
The Port Harcourt-based club, led by former Super Eagles winger Finidi George, has yet to taste defeat since the arrival of the ex-Nigerian international as manager.
After a goalless first half, Rivers United broke the deadlock in the 50th minute when Okon A. capitalized on a defensive error to give his side the lead.
The momentum continued in United’s favor, and 15 minutes later, Effiong N. doubled the advantage, securing the three points with a precise finish in the 65th minute.
Finidi George’s influence on the team has been undeniable, as Rivers United remain unbeaten under his guidance, further boosting their confidence and title ambitions this season.
