In a match that had fans on the edge of their seats, both parties fought fiercely in the first half, but none could break the dead point.

Only two minutes later, the powerful forward Janet Akekeromowei, freeing himself from his goal drought, broke in a second, sealing a crucial victory for the Amazons.

With this very close victory, coach Christopher Danjuma’s team rose to the top of the 25 -points of the NWFL Premier League with 9 points, keeping his super six aspirations alive.
When reflecting on victory, coach Danjuma said: “The League is growing and we are improving with each game. The thrust of the second half made the difference, and we are focusing on building the cohesion and redemption of the team.”
Next, the high -flying Amazons are directed to Benin to face Edo Queens at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium, while they seek to extend their remarkable race in the league.
