Sunday Abigail nailed Edo Queens in the 22nd minute with the winning goal, to keep the final scores at 2-1 and a four-point top of the table lead for Sunshine Queens before the kick off of the Rivers Angels vs Delta Queens game.
Edo Queens coach, Stanley Osazee, expressed his disappointment on the poor results recorded so far by his team. He noted that ; “The clubs’ top management members are not happy that, we don’t have any point after our second game when the plan was to come to Ijebu-Ode to win the title. Anyway we still have the hope of winning our three remaining games and amass nine points, we should be able to bounce back and achieve our aim of coming to Ijebu Ode.”
