Rivers United halted Enyimba's unbeaten run in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after they pipped the People’s Elephant 1-0 in their Matchday 18 tie at Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Coach Usman Abd’Allah’s men had gone 11 games without a defeat but they could not extend that run and were put to the sword in their mid-week game courtesy of a solitary strike from Ossy Martins.
Martins was on target in the 13th minute but hard as Enyimba tried, they could not get back into the game.
