CAF CL: Zambia’s Power Dynamos  Beat Rivers Utd in Uyo

Nigeria’s miserable season in continental club football campaign continued on Sunday evening with Rivers United beaten 1-0 at home in Uyo by Zambian side, Power Dynamos, in their  CAF Champions League Match-day four encounter.

Kondwani Chiboni scored the lone winning goal for the visitors five minutes after the break.

That victory in Uyo was Power Dynamos’ first-ever CAF Champions League group stage win. It also lifted Oswald Mutapa’s side to third position in Group C with four points from four games.

The Zambian side will host Moroccan side, RS Berkane in their next game on Saturday.

For Rivers United it is now mission impossible as they dropped to the last spot on the Group C standing of the CAF Champions League group stage. They are yet to win any match in the tournament this term.

Cup holders , Pyramids FC of Egypt are the next opponents of the Nigerian representatives even as this defeat may spell doom for Nigerian teams next season. Should Mali improve their coefficient, chances of Nigeria presenting four teams in the continent appears slim.

Nigerian teams have been dismal in both the Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup for several seasons.
