I would have preferred Rivers scale through because they play more purposeful football than Eyinmba getting to this point they would be a better flag bearer on the continental stage than Enyinmba who always play with complacency like they have arrived whilst rivers are showing a glimpse of hunger for continental silverware than their NPFL counterpart just an observation brothers I stand to be corrected please
