After crashing out of the CAF Confederation Cup, Rivers United received more knocks at home as they were beaten by Sunshine Stars in Port Harcourt.

The Yakubu Gowon Stadium fortress has been penetrated and dismantled.

The home fans looked cold and more exhausted then the players on the pitch as they kept asking one another - Is this really our team?

No side, since February 19, 2016 had beaten the ‘Pride of Rivers’ at that venue in domestic competition but on Wednesday, July 19 2017, history was re-written.
