Nigeria Professional Football league champions, Rivers United have been knocked out of the CAF Confederations Cup following the goalless in the second leg of their quarter final tie against Young Africans of Tanzania, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

After losing 2-0, at home last weekend in Uyo, Rivers United have been eliminated by 2-0 aggregate score at the Benjamin Nkapa Stadium, Dar es Salaam on Sunday night.

Rivers before the game were reported to have gone through unprofessional psychological torture from the fans of home teams when their bus was attacked and about $2500 was stolen.

This despicable act was seen during the game when the match was halted after 24 minutes of play due to floodlight failure.

Both teams were given 10 minutes to warm up before the game got underway again.

The Pride of Rivers did all they could except that the defense of the opposition had answers to every question.

Young Africans will face Gallants FC of South Africa in the semi-final.
