Despite securing the full point in the game, the head coach of Rivers United Evans Ogenyi has admitted how difficult was the game.
The Pride of Rivers secured the maximum points with a 3-2 win but Ogenyi acknowledged that it was not easy.
“A game of this magnitude can go either way, don’t forget that we went away and pulled a draw.
We are the only one in Nigeria they were forced to draw in their ( Doma United) ground, we scored first and they forced us to draw.
We knew definitely that they would come here with a vented anger but we were prepared, we told our players that this was the middle of the continent and a lot was expected of us.
The match that produced 5 goals is not easy but 3 points is the most important”, he said.
