NPL playoffs: Rivers United floor Sunshine Stars, secure top spot

Ebube Duru’s second-half penalty gave defending champions Rivers United all three points in their Nigeria Premier League Super Six playoff tie against Sunshine Stars at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.

Mark Gibson Theo was upended inside the box on the hour mark.

Duru then stepped up to score from the spot to hand Rivers United maximum points in the keenly contested encounter.

The left-back came close to doubling his side’s advantage on 86 minutes, but his free kick hit the crossbar.

The Pride of Rivers currently top the log with three points.

Stanley Eguma’s side will take on Lobi Stars in their next game on Monday, while Sunshine Stars will take on Bendel Insurance.
