Rivers United’s maestro, Paul Odeh, has been honored with the prestigious title of nabbing the goal of the week in the CAF Confederation Cup. His awe-inspiring goal against Academica Petroleos club do Lobito has been handpicked from a pool of stellar performances in the matchday one fixtures.
The picturesque moment unfolded as Odeh unleashed a phenomenal long-range strike, propelling Rivers United to a glorious 3-0 triumph at the iconic Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. The crowd roared in unison, shaking the stadium to its core, as the ball gracefully found the back of the net.
Among the array of remarkable goals selected, Odeh’s strike rightfully claims its place alongside the likes of USM Algiers’ maestro Islam Merili, whose thunderous screamer echoed through the stadium against Al-Hilal SC. Mordern Future’s sensation, Ghanam Mohammed, also etched his name in the annals of brilliance with a goal that left Supersports reeling. Additionally, Sagrada Esperanca’s Simone Lepau’s close-range strike against CO Coyah SC and Zamalek’s Yusuf Obama’s impeccable header against Abu Salam round up the distinguished list of extraordinary goals.
The stage is now set for Rivers United, the former Nigeria Premier Football League champions, as they brace themselves for an intense faceoff against Dream SC of Ghana in their upcoming matchday two fixture on the hallowed grounds of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
