Edo Queens Football Club of Benin on Wednesday continues her fine form to the new Nigeria Women Football League Premiership season with a 2-1 win over Heartland Queens in the match day 2.
The match day 2 played at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, saw the Moses Aduku led girls maintain a perfect start to the young season.
The Benin based Ladies started strongly, producing a beautiful attacking display, with the clear intention of grabbing three maximum points, despite Amarachi Atulayo, the Goalkeeper of Heartland Queens initially proving too hard to beat.
After several attempts, Goodness Osigwe broke the deadlock 5 minutes before halftime. Matthew Monica got an equalizer for the host from the spot in the 48th minute of the game.
Goodness Osigwe again rose to the occasion as she powered back Edo Queens into the lead and subsequently, the victory after her 70th minute effort payed off, leaving their hosts terribly stunned.
The implication of the win is that Edo Queens sits top of the group with six points from two games, with superior goals difference.
Up next for the WAFU-B champions will be a home game action next week Wednesday when they host Remo Stars Ladies FC at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.
Remo Stars Ladies FC earned a 1-0 victory on Wednesday against Ekiti Queens at the Remo Stars stadium, Ikenne.
