2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 4 Review: Rivers United Extend Shooting Stars SC Winless Run

Posted : 15 September 2025

Rivers United FC compounded the struggles of Shooting Stars SC with a narrow 1-0 victory in their 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 4 clash at the Adokiye Aniesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.

 

The loss leaves the Oluyole Warriors still winless after four matches, anchoring them at the bottom of the NPFL table in 19th position. Shooting Stars had hoped to salvage a point on the road, but Ubong Friday’s stunning volley from a corner in the 72nd minute sealed the win for last season’s runners-up.

 

Head coach Nurudeen Aweroro is still building his squad, emphasizing consistent starters and a high-intensity playing style, but results have yet to reflect his efforts, increasing pressure from fans, management, and players. Despite containing their hosts for over an hour, the Warriors faltered when it mattered most. They will now look to turn their fortunes around in their upcoming home clash against Kun Khalifat FC.

 

Rivers United Technical Adviser Finidi George expressed frustration over his team’s performance despite the victory. “I am not quite happy, to be honest. We were too hurried, made too many mistakes, and I didn’t see my team in complete control at any point,” he said in a post-match interview. He assured that the team would improve in future games. Rivers United remain unbeaten this season, collecting eight points from four matches.
