Finidi’s Second-Half Switch Seals 3-0 Triumph Over Abia Warriors

Rivers United coach Finidi George says a tactical shift after halftime sparked his side’s dominant 3-0 win over Abia Warriors in NPFL matchday 36. The Pride of Rivers broke the deadlock five minutes after the break through Wasiu Falolu. Timothy Zachaaria doubled the lead in the 72nd minute, and Bello Babatunde wrapped up the scoring in the 89th minute. Finidi admitted his team struggled to break down Abia’s low block in the first half. “We stayed too patient with our passing,” he said, “but going more direct after the break created the space we needed.” With this victory, Rivers United remain hot on Rangers’ heels in the title race. They now head to Bauchi for a crucial clash with Wikki Tourists as they chase their first NPFL crown.
