Mercy
Omokwu nets her 4th goal of the season and Ibinabo’s supposed double
was ruled out on coach Liadi Bashiru’s return to Oshogbo. in Edo, Moturanyo’s
intention to clear a cross beat her goalie Doris Ohia to score the first own
goal of the season and putting the home side on the lead before Yemisi Samuel
doubled the lead in the 47th minutes. It wasn’t all over say Sofiat as
she comes off the bench to give hope to the visitors when she kicks past the
unsuspecting Edo Queens goalie Bakare Shukurat in the 82nd minutes.
The
game appears to be the most interesting in the group A fixture as Naija Ratel’s
Ojo Oluwafehinti, Aminat Bello, Zipere Agama were a terror in the home side box
and creating a big challenge for Edo Queens to press forward. The Ratels came
all out to fight for a point which paid off in the 89th minutes
after Olamide Adugbe strike from a long range secured a point away from home for
the Ratels. This was a much needed goal as it puts them on level point and
goals with Edo Queens.
Back
in Calabar, Nasarawa Amazons kept the ball rolling as they added more misery to
a slow and unsettled Pelican Stars defense, Dooshima didn’t take too long to
get the ball past Pelican Star goalie in just 2nd minutes, a goal
that left the Calabar stars wondering the next bearing and while they were
still on that, Awede Titilayo who was superb throughout the preseason kept her
goal scoring boots on as she doubled the lead in the 65th minutes
and just before the curtain will be drawn, the wonder kid who joined Amazons in
the opening season came off the bench to gift Amazons 3 goal in their first
2022 NWFL Premiership game. Group a have now provided a total of 16 Goals
in just 2 games.In
group B, Abia Angels surprisingly share the spoils in Aba in a goalless draw
with Royal Queens. Group B have been so far the uninteresting group despite the
star studded teams in the group. So far with less goal and attempts. Rivers Angels
secured a win with an early goal in the first 20 minutes of the game but
struggled all through the remainder of the game.Yenagoa
played out a 1 – 1 after Mercy Itimi scored a breathtaking equalizing goal in
the 94th minutes of the gaol, a goal that cancels Chisom Henry lead
in the 35th minutes.What do you think about thenwfl premiership week 2?
