Rivers United football club of Port Harcourt will now face Enyimba FC of Aba in the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Port Harcourt side at the weekend defeated Bloemfontein Celtic 3-0 to qualify 5-0 on aggregate in the first round, second leg tie in Porto Novo, Benin Republic.
The match originally scheduled to hold on Wednesday, but was shifted after the new COVID-19 rules did not allow Celtic to travel to Nigeria.
The DStv Premiership outfit entered the second leg trailing the Nigeria Professional Football League outfit by two goals but could not make anything good out of the encounter.
However, Rivers United registered their presence early on when Godwin Aguda opened the scoring in the first half, making it 3-0 on aggregate for the hosts.
Celtic’s fate was virtually sealed just before the halftime break when Aguda bagged his second goal of the game to hand the Nigerian outfit a comfortable lead.
The Nigeria Premiership side sealed the victory and a spot in the next round thanks to Fortune Omoniwari’s strike five minutes after the halftime break.
