NPFL FINAL DAY: Rivers United for CAF Champions League, Enyimba qualify for CAF Confederation Cup
Rivers United today finished as runners-up and will play in next year’s CAF Champions League, while Enyimba rallied to third place, which allows them to feature in the CAF Confederation Cup on a most dramatic final day of the NPFL.

Rivers United lost 1-0 at relegation-threatened Sunshine Stars, but won in the boardroom after the NFF disciplinary committee awarded them a disputed match against Jigawa Stars, who fielded an ineligible player.

Rivers United thus finished on 66 points from 38 matches.

Enyimba showed their class by finishing in the Top-3 also with 66 points, but inferior goals difference courtesy of a 3-1 win at Dakkada.

Super Eagles winger Anayo Iwuala put ‘The People’s Elephant’ in front after 11 minutes, before Samad Kadiri made double the lead on 25 minutes.

The home team pulled a goal back four minutes later.

Iwuala got his brace for Enyimba in the 78th minute.



Initial front runners Nasarawa United and Kano Pillars both dropped out of contention for international football next year after they lost on the road.

Nasarawa United fell 3-1 at Abia Warriors, while Kano Pillars were beaten 1-0 by hosts Heartland.

However, Nasarawa could still hope to play in the 2022 CAF Confederation Cup should they beat second division Bayelsa United in Sunday’s Aiteo Cup Final in Benin City.

NPFL RESULTS TODAY

Dakkada 1 Enyimba 3

Sunshine 1 Rivers United 0

Lobi Stars 2 Akwa United 1

MFM FC 2 Jigawa 0

Heartland 1 Kano Pillars 0

Abia Warriors 3 Nasarawa United 1

Kwara United 3 Katsina United 0

Ifeanyiubah 1 Warri Wolves 0

Wikki Tourists 2 Adamawa United 0

Enugu Rangers 2 Plateau United 0

However recall that Rivers United have an outstanding petition against Jigawa Golden stars for fielding an ineligible player.
Which Rivers united took to LMC.
NFF have uphold the decision in favour of Rivers united by giving them 3 points and 3 goals in line with NPFL rule

Therefore


1.Akwa United is 1st with 71 points from 38 games and +29 goals Difference

2.Rivers United is 2nd with 66 points from 38 games and +15 goals difference

3.Enyimba united 3rd with 66 points from 38 games and +8 goals difference


Rivers united is above Enyimba on goal difference and therefore will join Akwa united to play CAF champions league while Enyimba and winner of Aiteo cup between Nasarawa and Bayelsa united will play CAF confederation cup



But its a big shame to LMC that they can not do the right thing at the right time by taking side. Until NFF disciplinary committee came up by awarding Rivers united its due 3 points and 3 goals.

I don't really care that Rivers Utd got the 3 points through the LMC boardroom to finish above Enyimba, but why should the LMC come up with that decision on the last day of the league, in fact the decision came out while the last round of matches were going on when Jigawa Golden Stars were already 2 goals down. It shows that the LMC had their plans already mapped out.

This is just like the supreme Court decision that made the fourth placed candidate the winner in Imo State. But it's okay, I believe they were robbed in favour of Enyimba last season.

This looks like an arrangement, imagine how Rivers united was awarded 3pionts which clearly made them lipfrog Enyimba on the table to qualify, too poor. It could easily been arranged.

Meanwhile Kano Pillars last 5 games typifies the results of a professional club in Nigeria...# Win at home...Lose Away...Win at home..Lose Away#

Results of Kwara United last 5 games is a misnomer grin

Very shocking. A team that won 6 away games dropped double figure points at home

And their defensive record? One of the poorest I've ever seen since following the club
