Despite scoring first through Stephen Manyo in the first half, Rivers United were crushed by visiting Pyramids of Egypt 4-1 in a Matchday 5 encounter decided at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt Sunday.
Sunday’s loss makes it two in a row on home ground for the Nigerian flagbearers after they lost the Matchday 4 encounter to Power Dynamos last week .
The Finidi George-tutored side remain stuck to the bottom of the group with a solitary point they earned against Power Dynamos two weeks ago.
Pyramids now lead group A with an unassailable 13 points from four wins and a draw while Rivers United lost four matches and drew one to place fourth behind RS Berkane and Power Dynamos both on seven points from five matches.
