Finidi George has expressed satisfaction with Rivers United’s performance following their matchday 34 victory over Plateau United, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The former champions secured a 1-0 win against Gbenga Ogunbote’s side at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, with Wisdom Samuel netting the decisive goal in the 10th minute after a fine assist from Taofeek Otaniyi.
The result saw Rivers United return to the top of the NPFL table, boosting their title ambitions as the season approaches its final stages.
Reflecting on the game, Finidi admitted his side did not create many chances but maintained control throughout the contest.
“It’s a match that we didn’t create too many scoring chances, but the shot went in in the first half. I think in the second half, we had another chance. That was the highlight of the match,” he told the club’s media.
“We didn’t suffer much, it was a game that we controlled properly, no too much stress at the back. We didn’t create much too.
“If you look at the overall performance of the team, it was a good one. We are quite happy with the performance, and the victory.”
Rivers United will next face Kano Pillars at the Sani Abacha Stadium as they continue their push for the league title.
