Rivers United technical adviser, Finidi George, has described his team’s away victory over Plateau United as an important one for his team.
The Pride of Rivers moved to second position in the league table with 30 points from 15 matches after a 2-1 win over Plateau United in Jos.
Finidi commended his players for playing with determination in the game.
“It’s an important win,” Finidi told Rivers United media after the game.
“I felt in the first half we struggled a little bit. Coming in the second half, we pushed a little more, pressed a bit higher, forced them to kick the long balls and look for the second ball which gave an edge. While we won the second balls we had the whole field to operate.”
Rivers United will battle with Wikki Tourists in their next league encounter on Sunday.
