Posted : 08 June 2023
Highly rated Edo Queens football Club of Benin started the NWFL Super 6 title chase on a disappointing note as they were pipped 1-0 by Confluence Queens of Lokoja in their first game of the championship holding in Asaba, the Delta State Capital.
Edo Queens who had the support of the football fans based on their rating in Nigeria could not put smiles on the faces of their teeming fans as they left the Stadium disappointed.
Edo Queens had all it took to defeat Confluence Queens convincingly in the first half of the game, but lacked the discipline to tuck the ball into the net.
Edo Queens went into this game full of confidence, with their creative midfielder and team captain, Suliat Abideen doing all the play without results to show for her solo efforts.
The head coach of Edo Queens, Moses Aduku, said it was not over for the team.
"For me I believe everything is still possible. If you look at the chances we had, it is not two goals, not three goals, we would have scored up to four goals. We didn't take our chances.
"I'm not disappointed, it is painful, but that is football. Today is just our bad day, we can still win the trophy.
"I will go back and talk to the girls; we need to up our games against Delta Queens. It is going to be a tough game, but I believe we can do it," he said.
The only way to salvage the situation is for Edo Queens to go all out against Delta Queens in the next game.
They are condemned to win the next game with at least three goals, else all government efforts will seem wasted.
As they battle the host state, Delta Queens on Friday evening in a fight to finish cracker, football fans expect to see a more focused and result-oriented Edo Queens.
