In the CAF Confederation Cup match played on February 25, 2024, Rivers United FC secured a 3-2 victory over Academica Petroleos do Lobito. Despite both the teams being neck to neck on various statistical parameters, few were rather pivotal in deciding the direction this game took.

Despite Academica's concerted offensive attempts reflected in their 4 assists, they were unable to completely dominate the game. In fact, Rivers United FC shot on target six times, one more than Academica, indicating greater precision in their offensive play.

Academica also seems to have squandered some opportunities as evidenced by the 7 shots they took that were off target, significantly more than the 3 by Rivers United FC. This along with Academica's 5 saves by the goalkeeper in comparison to Rivers United FC's 4 indicates Academica being on back foot defensively, giving Rivers United FC the three-goal advantage they needed.

Corner kicks, often a great indication of offensive pressure, were also in favour of Rivers United FC with five against Academica's four. This, combined with their accurate shots on target led to a stronger performance by Rivers United FC.

Discipline-wise, both teams maintained a clean slate with no yellow or red cards. However, with Academica committing 10 fouls, three more than Rivers United FC, some disruptions in their gameplay could be suspected.

Overall, Rivers United FC's clinical conversion of opportunities and lesser fouls appear to have helped them secure a vital win over Academica Petroleos do Lobito. Meanwhile, Academica fell short mainly due to their inferior accuracy in attempts on goal and more fouls committed, indicating areas for the team to work on in coming matches.
