Dannaz Ladies FC were held to a goalless draw against the resilient Nasarawa Amazons on Match Day 3 of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos.
Shobowale Olushola Rukkayat returned to the starting 11 after coming off the bench in the last game against Heartland Queens.
The game began with Nasarawa Amazons holding onto possession, and Adebisi Saheed and Shobowale controlled play in the middle against the strong-willed Dannaz Ladies side.
Shobowale came close to giving the Lafia Landladies the lead in the first half, but her effort was unlucky not to find the back of the net.
In the second half, Nasarawa Amazons pressed Dannaz Ladies into their own half, with Esther Adesoji remaining solid at the back.
Oluchi Ohaegbulem's overlapping caused trouble for the Dannaz Ladies defense, but Fatima Solaty troubled the Lafia Landladies at the back, which was dealt with successfully.
Ten minutes before the end of the game, Dannaz Ladies goalkeeper Salimot Jimoh made two double saves to deny the Amazons.
Hembafan almost broke the deadlock late in the second half but was unlucky as the ball hit the downright bar, relieving Dannaz Ladies.
The Lafia Landladies secured a point in Lagos as the game ended in a goalless draw.
Nasarawa Amazons FC will be home to face visiting Abia Angels in Week 4 of the NWFL23/24 on December 6, 2023.
