Former Super Eagles boss Finidi George has picked just two points from a possible 12 in his last four matches.

Super Eagles legend Finidi George and Rivers United are experiencing a challenging period after they extended their winless streak to four matches following a goalless draw against Remo Stars in Ikenne.

The match, which was a top-of-the-table clash, saw both teams vying for crucial points but ultimately ended in disappointment for George and his side on Sunday.

United entered the match needing redemption after suffering two defeats and a draw in their previous three outings.

They faced a formidable Remo Stars team that boasted a perfect home record. Despite the intense competition, Rivers United managed to force Remo to drop points at home for the first time this season, showcasing their resilience.

Rivers United boss Finidi George has failed to win any of the last four matches.

The match was closely contested, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert.

Rivers United's defence held firm against Remo's attacks, and while the visitors were unable to find the back of the net, they showed signs of improvement compared to their recent performances.

Remo Stars and Rivers United could not be separated in Ikenne.

The draw leaves Rivers United in second place on the league table with 22 points, just one point behind Remo Stars, who remain at the top.

Finidi George's frustration is palpable as he seeks to turn around the team's fortunes in the coming matches.

United and Remo are separated by just a point.

As Rivers United prepares for their next fixture, George will be looking to address the issues that have led to this winless run and inspire his players to regain their early season winning form.

The club's supporters remain hopeful that the Pride of Rivers can bounce back and reclaim their position as serious contenders in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL).
