Rivers United are back on top of the Nigeria Professional Football League Table after a slim 1-0 victory over a winless Adamawa United team in Port Harcourt.
With Nasarawa United losing to Plateau United, the Pride of Rivers understood only a win on matchday 7 will restore their leadership position in the league.
But it wasn’t an easy ride for the hosts. Adamawa United , yet to record a win this season pushed their opponent and created some nervy moments for them. One of the nervy moments for Coach Stanley Eguma’s team happened in the 35th moment when the impressive Godwin Aguda missed a penalty.
