Edo Queens continued their impressive title defense with a crucial 1-0 victory over Ekiti Queens at the Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.
A second-half strike from Rebecca Adegbemile in the 68th minute secured all three points for the visitors, extending their strong start to the season.
The hard-fought win sees Edo Queens climb to the top of Group A, reaffirming their status as contenders in the ongoing Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) season. However, their stay at the summit remains uncertain, as the outcome of the match between Remo Stars Ladies and Nasarawa Amazons in Lafia could alter the standings.
Ekiti Queens put up a spirited fight on home turf, but they were unable to break down Edo Queens’ resolute defense. The defending champions showcased their experience and composure, ultimately capitalizing on their chances to secure the win.
Edo Queens will now shift their focus to their next fixture as they aim to maintain their dominance in the league, while Ekiti Queens will look to bounce back from this narrow defeat.
