Bayelsa Queens Strike Early to Dominate NWFL Super Six

FC Robo entered the match buoyed by a 2-0 victory over Nasarawa Amazons, looking to shake off their early tournament losses to Rivers Angels and Edo Queens.

Meanwhile, the Prosperity Girls arrived with momentum of their own following a gritty 2-1 win against Rivers Angels.

The Yenagoa-based side wasted no time making their intentions clear, seizing the initiative with a lightning-fast opener right after the kickoff.

It was a dream start for the holders as Kindness Ifeanyi struck inside the opening minute.

She outmuscled her marker in the 18-yard box before unleashing a thunderous strike into the bottom left corner, leaving goalkeeper Mercy Olodu with absolutely no chance.

Kesiena Seals Crucial Victory for Prosperity Girls

Bayelsa carried their slim advantage into the halftime break. FC Robo emerged for the second half determined to mount a comeback, but their ambitions were quickly deflated.

Super-sub Ojiyovwi Kesiena made an instant impact off the bench. When Alaba Olabiyi floated a pinpoint cross from the right wing, Olodu hesitated in no man’s land, allowing Kesiena to head home with her very first touch of the match.

The defeat marks FC Robo’s third loss of the competition, ending their mathematical title hopes ahead of their final match against Abia Angels.

For Bayelsa Queens, back-to-back wins push them to seven points, setting up a crucial, winner-takes-all Sunday showdown against fierce rivals Edo Queens.
