Federation Cup: Rivers United, Lobi Stars march into quarter-finals

Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) sides Rivers United and Lobi Stars lead the list of quarter-finalists which have emerged in the 2019 Federation Cup.

Rivers United edged out Warri Wolves with a 2-0 victory at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa on Sunday.

Goals either side of half-time from Ossy Martins and Kehinde Adedipe moved the Pride of Rivers closer to their dream of winning the Federation Cup, after the disappointment of missing out on the NPFL Super Six.

On their part, Lobi Stars also breezed past Abia Warriors as they beat Emmanuel Deutsch’s men 3-1 to advance to the last eight.
