2025 NWFL Match Day 1: Rivers Angels dispatch stubborn Ibom Angels

Posted : 16 January 2025

Former Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) champions, Rivers Angels, have kicked off their campaign in the 2025 NWFL season by securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ibom Angels in the South-South Derby.


Ifeoma Ikenokwalu's 78th-minute goal proved to be the decider in a well-contested match.


The game was marked by own goals from both sides, with Helen Daniel scoring in the 3rd minute to give Rivers Angels the lead, and Joy Michael equalizing for Ibom Angels in the 18th minute.


However, Rivers Angels head coach Tosan Blankson said his side was forced to play Ibom Angels' style of football in their season opener.


Blankson noted that Ibom Angels' tactics did not work in their favor, pointing out that Ibom Angels were more physical than his team.


According to him, his players were anxious due to it being their first competitive match together.


Despite this, Blankson praised his team's effort, saying, "The win is as good as playing in the Super Six already. The girls have done well."


Rivers Angels' next match is an away game against Naija Ratels in Abuja.
