Rivers United yesterday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena dented Bendel Insurance unbeaten run in the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL
Insurance had their 21-game run without defeat ended by the defending champions following a 2-1 loss on matchday four at the NPFL Playoffs yesterday.
Two beautiful goals in either half from the Pride of Rivers were enough to bring to an end the longest unbeaten run in NPFL’s history
In a keenly contested encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, the fans were made to wait until added time in first time for the breakthrough, with Morice Chukwu putting the champions in front.
The second half was as hotly contested as the first and the next goal also arrived late, this time super-sub, Joseph Onoja wrapping up the win following beautiful work by fullback Udeme.
There was still time for one more goal, this time from Insurance as Divine Nwachukwu headed in a late consolation for the Benin Arsenal.
