Stanley Eguma, the Coach of Rivers United, Nigeria’s only surviving club presently on continental duty has said picking three points against FUS Rabat in the CAF Confederation Cup is “very important” to the team.
After first round of play, Rabat are top of Group A with three points after their 3-0 win against Kampala City, while Club Africain are second and Rivers United third in the group.
The Port Harcourt based club is Nigeria’s only surviving representative on the continent; after the ouster of Enugu Rangers, FC Ifeanyi Ubah and Wikki Tourists, however their performance has also not been impressive.
Following United’s 3-1 defeat away to Club Africain in the CAF Confederation Cup last week, Eguma said it was unfortunate but assures that the team will “do our best, I think we need to sit up.”
The Coach said, “We need to win our next game at home, though every game is important; whether home or away.”
“All we need to do is correct our lapses and mistakes and come out stronger in the next game and to win. It is very important for us”.
Rivers United host FUS Rabat on Wednesday at the Yakubu Gowon stadium in their second group A match.
