RS Berkane were just lucky. Rivers United will win the remaining matches with ease.
What is wrong with Nigerian football, I actually don’t understand, how can a club concede 2 goals under 90 seconds in added time???? Are we really jinxed in Nigeria??? Look at the Way Super Eagles just chose to switch off in the 2nd half of a vital World Cup qualifier?.?? And our Male basketball team also capitulated in added. time against Tunisia in a vital basketball World Cup qualifier?? They tied 73-73 at full time only to crumble 78-88 in added time.. . Nigerian sports seem to be under a curse!!!!!!!
