Edo Queens 1–0 Bayelsa Queens: The Streak Ends

In a tightly contested clash between two heavyweights of women’s football in Nigeria, it was Goodness Osigwe who rose to the occasion, netting a 45th-minute goal that shattered Bayelsa Queens’ 17-game unbeaten streak in the NWFL.

Despite relentless efforts from the Prosperity Girls to find an equalizer, Edo Queens defended with grit and purpose, displaying the kind of determination that had been missing in their earlier Super 6 fixtures. The win breathes new life into their title hopes and proves that the Prosperity Girls are not invincible.

Ruthless. Resolute. Reignited. Edo Queens are back in the hunt.

The game remained tense until the 86th minute, when Mary Moses calmly doubled the lead, sealing the three points and showing why Rivers Angels remain a perennial powerhouse in Nigerian women’s football.

Remo Stars Ladies 0–0 Nasarawa Amazons: Missed Opportunity
