Two first-half goals from the duo of Taiwo Ajibade and Shola Oduwale, along with an own goal, were all Sunshine Queens FC needed to thrash FC Robo in matchday 10 of the Nigeria Women's Football League (NWFL) at the Ondo State Sports Complex in Akure.

Adeyemo Fasilat scored an own goal in the first two minutes of play from an entertaining encounter, courtesy of Akubo Obianuju's free kick.

Sunshine Queens goalkeeper, Precious Aaron, denied FC Robo several times.

Also, Sunshine Queens’ defense, marshaled by Divine Onwuchekwa, Joy Falegan, Aluba Ogba, and Kehinde Aganmuyi, ensured their side ended the first half without conceding.

The restart of the encounter recorded no further goals, despite FC Robo’s pressure to turn the table around with their attacking tactics.

The host's defense, controlled by the cool, calm, and calculated goalkeeper, Precious Aaron, was on hand to keep it clean for their side.

To seal the game, Sunshine Queens substituted Akubo Obianuju and Bolaji Olamide for Ireti Eretan and Precious Edewor, while Suliyat Ajibade made way for Bunmi Adenuga and Mercy Mbachu. Ugu Rita was also replaced by Amaka Augusta and Joy Falegan.

The last chance of the encounter came the way of Sunshine Queens with Kehinde Aganmuyi's strike inches above the crossbar.

The host kept the maximum points in the kitty with a clean sheet.

Sunshine Queens head Coach, Oladimeji Abimbola, commended his players for playing according to the game plan.
