Rivers United failed to take a chance to return to the top of the Nigeria Professional Football League table after losing 2-1 to Katsina United at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium on matchday 8.
The Pride of Rivers, looking for their second away of the season, travelled to Katsina with high hopes of consolidating on their last league win over Adamawa United in Port Harcourt and get a result that will restore their lead in the league.
Katsina United had a difficult time in Aba on matchday 7, losing 1-0 to Enyimba and didn’t want back-to-back defeats in the league and that made the encounter with Rivers United a feisty one.

Nasarawa United have produced arguably the major talking point of match day 6 in the Nigeria Professional Football League after beating Warri Wolves 2-1 to secure their unbeaten record.
Before the match, the Solid Miners had recorded three wins and 2 draws and they knew a trip to Ozoro will test the quality they’ve shown this season.
Interestingly, it was the home team that opened scoring through Uche Ihuarulam’s header in the 21st minute. Warri Wolves took that lead into the break.
