Plateau United Football Club on Wednesday in Abuja beat visiting Al Akhdar S.C. of Libya 4-1 in the first leg match of their 2022/2023 CAF Confederation Cup final playoff round fixture.

The Jos-based side will visit the Libyan side on Nov. 9 for the second leg match.

In the same competition and earlier in the day in Port Harcourt, Rivers United whipped Al Nasr, also of Libya 5-0.

The result will definitely make the second leg game of Nov. 9 more comfortable for the reigning Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) champions.
