Acquah scores hat-trick in Rivers Utd win
 Ghanaian import, Paul Acquah, was in fine form as he scored a hat-trick to lead Rivers United to a 3-1 victory over Motema Pembe in their Confederation Cup group match yesterday. The game was played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Acquah opened the scoring just before halftime after he was set up by Ukeme Williams. His compatriot, Emmanuel Ampiah, then set him up for his second goal 10 minutes after the break. The visitors did manage to pull one back through substitute Mydo Nakouho Yallet on 78 minutes, but Acquah sealed the win for the Pride of Rivers deep into stoppage time with his third goal of the game.

This means that Acquah has scored four goals in four Confederation Cup matches this term for Rivers United and is leading the goal-scoring chart. The victory also restored Rivers United's two-point lead at the top of the table to nine points after four games.

Rivers United's coach, Stanley Eguma, praised his opponents for their performance but credited his tactical plans for securing the win. "Our opponents played well today but our tactical plans gave us maximum points today," he said in his post-match conference.

Rivers United's next match will be against Congo's Diables Noirs on Sunday, March 19. No Nigerian club has won the second-tier league since it was rechristened as the Confederations Cup by the Confederation for African Football (CAF).
