The Giant Elephant defeat of the Pride of Rivers and the Promise Keepers leadership of Group B were some of the weekend action in the NPFL

RIVERS UNITED 1-2 WIKKI TOURISTS

Rivers United suffered their first home defeat of the season on Sunday after they were beaten 2-1 by desperate Wikki Tourists who succeeded in getting a double win over the Pride of Rivers.

Saidu Abdullahi and Hassan Musa put the Giant Elephants in the driver’s seat in the 17th and 23rd minutes but the Port Harcourt side threatened a comeback through Ossy Martins who reduced the goals arrears in the 37th minute but the fantastic saves of Wikki goalkeeper, Chinedu Udeh denied them from getting a share of the spoils.
