Falolu fired Rivers United ahead in the 15th minute, while Jenewari’s penalty in the 42nd minute gave the Nigerian side a comfortable halftime lead.
Red Bulls, however, threatened a comeback when Diallo M. reduced the deficit in the 47th minute, but Rivers United responded through Zachariah T., who scored a superb goal in the 75th minute to seal victory on the night.
Rivers United’s triumph marks the first time any Nigerian club has reached the Champions League group stage since 2018.
In contrast, fellow Nigerian side Remo Stars have a mountain to climb after a 5–1 home loss to South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in mko Abiola stadium Abeokuta.
Coach Daniel Ogunmodede’s team will need an extraordinary comeback in the second leg to stay in the competition.
