Rivers United’s loss against Diables Noir is a wake up call for the champions - Victor Ezeji

Rivers United’s humbling 3-0 loss against Congolese side Diables Noir away in Congo should act as a wake-up call for the NPFL champions.

That’s the view of NPFL legend and former Enyimba forward Victor Ezeji who believes the Nigerian champions have been doing well after dropping out of the CAF champions league, despite the huge loss.

Rangers crashed to their first group defeat as they fumbled their way through a miserable 90 minutes that saw them fail to get a solitary effort on target.

Former Striker Victor Ezeji, speaking with Brila exclusively compared the outcome of the game with Enyimba’s 6-1 loss in their encounter against Ismail of Egypt back in 2003.

“This is a wake up call to Rivers because I don’t think they’ve been playing badly, since they drop off the Champions leagues, they‘ve been doing well in the league”.
