Abdul Aziz Issah opened the scoring for the Ghanaian side after the 40th-minute mark, finishing off a pass from forward John Antwi.
The MTN FA Cup champions went into the break ahead due to the youngster’s strike.
However, the home side found their equaliser minutes after the return from recess.
Echeta Ugonna Deputy netted for Rivers United to tie the score and sway the momentum in the home side’s favour.
Dreams were handed a nightmare in the 81st minute after Seth Agyemang received his marching off orders after his second yellow card in the second half.
