The result condemned Bendel Insurance to their first league defeat this season after a run of 21 games (eight wins and 13 draws).
After a cagey opening to the affair, Morice Chukwu smashed home the opener for Rivers United on the stroke of halftime as the game headed into the break 1-0.
Insurance resumed the second half with firepower but they couldn’t find a breakthrough as goalkeeper Victor Sochima and his defense line kept them at bay.
