The head coach of Rivers United, Stanley Eguma has expressed optimism that his side will will qualify for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Rivers United were walloped 3-0 by Club Africain of Tunisia in their matchday four encounter on Wednesday night.
The result meant that the Port Harcourt clubside have dropped to third position in Group C following the defeat.
The result also cast doubt on their chances of scaling through to the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Eguma is, however, certain they will overcome the defeat and make it to the next round.
“We are a good team despite our undoing today. On a good day, we gave a very good account of ourselves and I believe that the future is still bright for us.
“We can go back and correct our mistakes and come out stronger in subsequent matches and before you know it, we will get there. I strongly believe that we will qualify from our group”, he said.
Rivers United will take on Angola’s Academica do Lobito in their next game in the competition in February, 2024.
