Rivers United Assistant Coach Questions NPFL Finishing After CAF Champions League Exit
Rivers United assistant coach Yemi Olanrewaju has criticised the quality of finishing in the Nigeria Premier Football League after the club’s CAF Champions League exit against Côte d’Ivoire’s FC San Pedro. Rivers United drew 2-2 in Uyo, with the tie reported to have ended 3-3 on aggregate. Olanrewaju said the team created enough chances to win but failed to convert them. He argued that the shortage of reliable goalscorers is a wider NPFL problem, noting that the league’s top scorers recorded relatively modest totals last season. However, some fans have also pointed to Rivers United’s defensive errors across the two legs as a major factor in the elimination.
