Club Africain brushed aside Rivers United 2-0 in the CAF Confederation Cup Group A match at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
The victory took the Tunisian giants to the top of Group A standings with nine points, Nigeria's Rivers remain fourth with six points.
The home side started brightly with Bernard Ovoke looking lively for Rivers in the Africain half in the first 20 minutes.
However, it was Africain, who broke the deadlock through Haddad's powerful free-kick which beat Thomas to make it 1-0 in the 62nd minute.
A late counter attack led to Mokhtar Belkhiter scoring with a deflected shot - sealing Africain's hard-fought 2-0 away victory.
