Ignore the fake news spread on social networks claiming that Rivers United are facing a financial difficulties and so they might arrive in the country on Saturday and leave on Monday after the game against Yanga which will be played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday
These are just tactics they are trying to use to make it look like they have given up the match against Yanga
Rivers United have already left Nigeria and will arrive in the country anytime for the game against Yanga
Citizens should not fall into the trap of believing that Rivers United have accepted defeat and are therefore only coming to complete the schedule
Sunday's game will be difficult, Yanga will have to treat it as a new match regardless of the result of the first round match
The good news is that after Nigeria's victory, the players and the technical bench expected what they have done. They have failed because they should expect to meet Yanga who are hungry to reach the semi-finals
After Nigeria's victory, Yanga head coach Nasreddine Nabi noted that they have not yet qualified for the semi-finals and that in order to achieve that they must win against Rivers United after both matches
The match played in Nigeria is like the first 45 minutes and the next that will be played at Benjamin Mkapa stadium on Sunday, is the second 45 minutes
