Rivers United technical adviser, Finidi George has admitted that his side’s victory over Akwa United was tough.

“It was a difficult three points,” Finidi stated in a post-match interview.
“Akwa United came in here to fight and see how they could get a draw, so we must commend them for putting in that effort.
