Rivers United responded to their earlier upset in CAF Confederation Cup by beating ASEC Mimosas 3-0 in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
The reigning Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) suffered defeat by the same scoreline in their Group B opener against Diables Noirs but got the job done this time thanks to goals from Malachi Ohamuwa, Ukeme Williams, Ngaweni Denis Ndasi.
In the other Group B game, Motema Pembe of DR Congo played out a goalless draw with Congolese neighbours Diables Noirs.
Three other games on Sunday ended in 1-1 draws. These occurred in games involving Al Akhdar and USM Alger, Real Bamako and Monastir of Tunisia as well as the all-Egyptian clash between Future FC and Pyramids.
Debutants Marumo Gallants continued their excellent start by claiming a 2-1 win over St. Eloi Lupopo in Group A while the biggest win of the day came in the Moroccan capital city of Rabat where FAR Rabat were 5-1 victors over ASKO Kara in Group C.
