Festival of goals as NWFL regular season ends in style

A total of 15 goals were scored in five matches, an average of three per game on the final day of the regular season in the Nigeria Women’s Football League, NWFL.

Northern giants Nasarawa Amazons were the biggest winners on Wednesday as they delivered the most entertaining viewing following a five-goal thriller in Keffi.

The Amazons proved just too good for their visitors from Kogi, the Adamawa Queens after a 5-0 win on the final day.

In a show of dominance from the Keffi Amazons, Dooshima Tamum was the Amazon of the evening following her brace against the Queens.

She scored the opener and third goal of the day, with other goals coming from Ayatsea Hembanfan, Edeh Loveth and Aweda Titilayo.

In Lagos, the famous landladies proved they are owners of the land after a comfortable win over Confluence Queens.

Robo Queen strolled past the Confluence ladies in the battle of the queens after a 4-0 win.

Robo’s win came thanks to a brace from the queen of the match, Folashade Ijamilusi, who grabbed a brace, Rukayat Shobowale and her namesake, Rukayat Oladiti.

Former Champions Bayelsa Queens were another big winners on the day after a comfortable day against Naija Ratels.

Inspired by a solid first half display, the Bayelsa giants thrashed Ratels 3-0 to seal their progression in style.

Two of the goals arrived in the first half, with Chinyere Grace and Flourish Sabastine with the goals.

Touta Evanick added the icing on the cake when she added a third goal in the second half to wrap up the show in the state capital, Yenagoa.

After the entertaining final day of the season, the girls have been separated from the women.

Despite the heavy defeat in Lagos, the Confluence Queens are through to the super six in Group b, alongside group leaders, Robo and Edo Queens, who still have a game in hand.

In Group A, it is the trio of Delta Queens, the group winners, Bayelsa Queens and Rivers Angels who have qualified for the elite super six.
