Rivers United dropped to second position following the defeat.
“I think it was not a bad game, few lapses defensively as I didn’t expect Rangers to score from a throw-in,”Finidi stated to the media after the game.
“Before the goal we had balls that was crossing the line which I expect our strikers to tap in that didn’t happen.”
Rivers United will entertain the Kwara United in their next league game.
