Abia Warriors Overpower Rivers United

Michael Olaha scored on 24 minutes to settle a scrappy Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) contest between Abia Warriors and Rivers United on Sunday.<br /><br />The Warriors won 1-0 in a game that promised so much but delivered so little from the perspective of genuine quality and aesthetic football.<br /><br />Heavy rains before kick-off rendered large sections of the pitch at the Umuahia Township Stadium almost unplayable.<br /><br />As a result, both sides, famed for attractive, possession-based football, struggled to bring their optimum game to the table.<br /><br />The hosts should have doubled their lead in the final minute of added time after Rivers United conceded a penalty wit captain, Austin Festus handling the ball in the box.<br /><br />Second half substitute, Chisom Chikatara produced a tame shot which was saved by the United goal keeper, Sunday Rotimi.<br /><br />Sammy Wejinya, MO Rivers United <br />
