2024/2025 NWFL Match Day 8: Nasarawa Amazons pip Remo Stars in Lafia

Posted : 20 March 2025

Nasarawa Amazons began the second round of the NWFL with a win over visiting Remo Stars Ladies in Lafia.


The Match Day 8 fixture saw the Amazons dominate from the whistle as Ayatsea Hembafan and Akekeromowei Janet came close in the early stages.


Remo goalkeeper Charlotte Adjei was the busiest of both keepers, making stunning saves to keep the scoreline level until the dying moments of the game, when Remo Stars conceded a penalty.


Akudo Ogbonna was the culprit after hacking down Akekeromowei Janet, who was clear on goal. The referee had no choice but to point to the spot.


Akekeromowei Janet stepped up and sent the fans at the Lafia City Stadium into raptures, converting from 12 yards to end Remo Stars Ladies' invincibility in the league.


After the game, Christopher Danjuma revealed that despite the win, his team still needs to work on their conversion rate.


"It’s a very sweet win because we are the team that has stopped the unbeaten run of Remo Stars Ladies. However, our conversion rate didn’t truly reflect our dominance, but we will keep working on it."


"I knew it was going to be a tough match. The aim is to qualify for the Super 6, so every match counts. It’s important for Nasarawa Amazons to be there, and we will stop at nothing to achieve that," he concluded.


Goal scorer Akekeromowei Janet disclosed that despite the tough duel, the zeal in the girls made the win possible.


"The game was tough, but we put all our strength into the coach's tactics to get the desired result. We wanted goals, as many as possible, but they didn’t come as we expected, so we took the last chance and won."


Next, Nasarawa Amazons will face Dannaz Ladies of Lagos in one of Match Day 9 fixtures, as their march for a Super 6 slot continues.
