visitors going into break.
Restart of the second half came with a fireworks of goals, as
Deborah Abiodun wasted no time in extending the lead to 2-0 in the 48th

Royal Queens had their fair share of scoring opportunities,
but lack of composure in front of goal prove decisive as they failed to convert
with ease.
A brace from former Royal Queens striker, Chiamaka Okwuchukwu
in the 83rd and 90+3 minutes secured a convincing victory for the
visitors.

“It was a good game and the players showed great potentials
and winning mentality, this alone is a testament of what champions are made
off,” Okon said.
“I had to commend my team because it wasn’t easy, but
gradually we are able to come out of Warri with all three points, maintaining
our clean sheet so far and unbeaten run in the league.
