Rivers United forward Paul Acquah is still reveling in the joy of his fantastic run in the CAF Confederation Cup, after one of his scores on match-day four was chosen Goal of the Week, according to ANAEDOONLINE.
CAF named his second goal of his hat-trick against Motema Pembe last Thursday as the outstanding strike of the week in the Confederation Cup.
Acquah scored the second goal in dramatic manner after opening the scoring with a header, finishing off a cross from compatriot Emmanuel Ampiah with a quick left volley inside the area.
“The moment the ball went back to the left side, I already anticipated a cross, so, I just knew I had to time my run into the box. A defender was on me, so, I needed to hit the ball straight since the marker was on one side,” Acquah narrated the moment to ANAEDOONLINE Sports Extra.
“I feel good to know it’s the Goal of The Week, I think it is a good feeling that makes the player to work extra hard.”

Rivers United coach, Stanley Eguma, also hailed the player’s impact ahead of his side’s rescheduled Nigeria Professional Football League match-day eight clash against Enugu Rangers in Port Harcourt.
“Paul has really done well for himself and the team, but he’s not the only one that can get us the goals. I won’t mind though, if his goals can win us the match against Rangers, or any other team”, Eguma said.
After completing their last rescheduled NPFL game against Rangers on Wednesday (today), the league champions return to Uyo as they await Congolese side Diable Noirs on match-day five of the CAF Confederation Cup.
