Finidi George’s Rivers United Suffer Fourth Straight Defeat, Slip Off NPFL Summit
Rivers United’s title bid has suffered a dramatic setback after a 4-1 loss to Nasarawa United in Lafia. Nasarawa were clinical from the start, netting three goals in the first 25 minutes and exposing Rivers’ defensive frailties. The Port Harcourt side have now conceded eight goals in four matches, dropping from top spot after drawing just two points from their last four games. Enugu Rangers have seized the lead, with Rivers United two points adrift and Nasarawa climbing into continental qualification contention. This slump began with losses to Shooting Stars, Ikorodu City and Niger Tornadoes in recent weeks. Rivers United must regroup quickly before facing Kun Khalifat next Sunday if they are to salvage their NPFL ambitions.
