Power DynamosPower Dynamos secured a valuable away victory in this CAF Champions League encounter through Kondwani Chiboni's second-half strike. The Zambian side absorbed early pressure from Rivers United before taking control after the break, with Chiboni's 50th-minute goal proving to be the decisive moment.
