Edo Queens delivered another dominant performance in
the ongoing Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Super Six tournament,
thrashing Abia Angels 6-2 on Matchday Three in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Benin-based side showcased their attacking prowess
with an impressive display led by star forward Chioma Moses, who scored four
goals to inspire her team to a convincing victory.
Edo Queens got off to a flying start when Chioma Moses
opened the scoring in the third minute. However, Abia Angels responded quickly
as Mariam Abdulrasheed capitalized on a defensive lapse to level the score in
the 11th minute.
Just when it appeared both sides would head into the
break on equal terms, Moses struck again in stoppage time of the first half to
restore Edo Queens' lead and make it 2-1.
The second half belonged entirely to Edo Queens as
they took complete control of proceedings. Substitute Precious Oscar extended
the lead in the 52nd minute, making an immediate impact after coming off the
bench.
Only two minutes later, Atume Doosuur added a fourth
goal to put the defending champions firmly in command of the contest.
Chioma Moses then completed a memorable outing by
scoring two more goals in the 72nd and 81st minutes to seal her four-goal haul
and take the score to 6-1.
Abia Angels managed a late consolation through
Blessing Saleh in the 87th minute, but it did little to alter the outcome of
the match as Edo Queens cruised to a comprehensive 6-2 victory.
Speaking after the game, Edo Queens head coach, Moses
Aduku, praised his players' determination and focus while acknowledging the
quality of their opponents.
He stressed that his team remains fully committed to
maintaining its momentum in the remaining fixtures against Rivers Angels and
Bayelsa Queens.
According to Aduku, the competition is far from over,
and his side will approach the remaining matches with the same intensity and
winning mentality.
Team captain, Deborah Odiagbe, also expressed
confidence in the squad's ability to go all the way, insisting that there is no
room for complacency as they pursue the league title.
In other Matchday Three results, Bayelsa Queens
defeated Rivers Angels 2-1, while FC Robo secured a 2-0 victory over Nasarawa
Amazons.
With the latest result, Edo Queens have further
strengthened their credentials as one of the leading contenders for this year's
NWFL Super Six crown.
