The Nigerian flag bearers were edged out on the away goals rule

Rivers United are out of the CAF Confederation Cup following Sunday’s 1-0 loss in Egypt against Al Masry.

Though the Pride Rivers recorded a 2-1 win in the first leg last week in Aba, the narrow loss on Sunday saw them being edged out with the away goals rule as the aggregate scoreline between both teams was 2-2. A powerful shot from midfielder Farid Shawki was blocked by the Rivers United keeper, with the ball falling to Grendo to slot home from close range.Masry then hardly threatened until the early stages of the second half when a free-kick from Mostafa Soltan hit the post, with Nigerian striker Austin Amutu’s poor follow-up effort denied by the keeper from six yards out.
