Federation Cup: Sochima shifts Rivers’ focus after CAF Confederations Cup exit

Rivers United goalie, Victor Sochima said the away trip to Dar Salam in the second-leg of their quarter final battle against Young Africans wasn’t an easy one but will shift attention to their Federation Cup tie against Enyimba, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Rivers United played out a goalless draw in Tanzania but crashed out 2-0 on aggregate.

“It wasn’t an easy place to go, we went there we fought and we came back with a clean sheet. We got a Federation Cup against Enyimba on Thursday against Enyimba and is not an easy game to play,” the shot-stopper said as quoted by Daily Post.

“It’s a game that can go either way. We still have our league to defend and also FA Cup to play, so we are prepared for those games.”

The winner of the Round 64 rescheduled Federation Cup fixture against Enyimba on Thursday will present another interesting all NPFL affairs against Plateau United.
