Another Nigerian club at brink of continental elimination as Rivers United go down after 30 minutes
Like Plateau United, Rivers United are at the brink of a possible elimination from the CAF Champions League as their hosts, Wydad Casablanca take a 31st minute lead in the return leg match of the second round duel.
With Wydad 1-0 up aggregate scores stand at 2-2, but the away goal in Port Harcourt last Sunday could prove valuable for the Moroccans.
Minutes later, Rivers United goalkeeper after getting firm hold of the ball childishly made a body collision with a Wydad players who expectedly fell down.
Foul! A red card to goalkeeper Seidu Mutawakilu and a penalty kick that was scored for the off the ball incident.
Rivers are two goals down!
