Rivers United entered the game with high hopes following their first loss of the season against Ikorodu City, where they had been unbeaten for nine matches.
However, despite making five changes to the lineup, including giving Ndifreke Effiong a start and introducing David Benjamin for his first appearance of the season, United struggled to find their rhythm.

In what turned out to be a battle of former national team coaches, George's side was unable to penetrate a well-organised Bayelsa United defence.
The visitors took an early lead with a goal in the seventh minute and maintained their advantage throughout the match without giving much away defensively.

Despite Rivers United's attempts to equalise, they were ultimately unable to break through, resulting in back-to-back defeats that have left them trailing in the NPFL title race.
With this loss, Rivers United now find themselves two points behind league leaders Remo Stars, who are set to face them next weekend in what promises to be an intense encounter in Ikenne.
As pressure mounts on the Ajax legend and his team, they will need to regroup quickly if they hope to reclaim their position among the title contenders in the NPFL.
