CAFCC: Comeback for Rivers against Young African almost impossible - Blessing Nkor

Nigeria's forward, Blessing Nkor doesn't think Rivers United can overturn the two goals scored by Young African SC in the CAF Confederation Cup quarter final first leg when they play the second league, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Super Falcons player who also plays for Young African female team opined that it will be difficult for the Nigeria Football League reigning champions to win at the Yanga Stadium based on the good management of the club.

The former Sunshine Queens player who also played for Ibom Angels had given a reply to a question by @The Football Skit, asking "Can Rivers United FC Over turn this 2-0 deficit facing @YangaEnglish , @yangasc1935 Next week?"

Nkor replied "I don't think so. Rivers will have to play out their heart if they win,  they might qualify to the semi finals. We are talking about @YangaEnglish @yangasc1935 a club that has good football administrator and huge fan base and also have invested much in their football over time."

The Tanzanian side take a two goal lead from Uyo after winning by two goals to nil last Sunday courtesy of a Fiston Mayele brace.

The second leg holds in Tanzania at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar Es Salaam this Sunday.
