This was after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control NCDC declined to offer waivers to the Bloemfontein Celtic contingent that would have exempted the South Africans from observing local Covid-19 protocols including quarantining for a week.
Rivers United hold a two nil lead from the first leg and would progress to the next round if they avoid defeat in the second leg.
