Osigwe's 6th and 8th minutes early opener gave confidence to the Moses Aduku tutored girls.

As Nigeria former champions, Rivers Angels fought gallantly to pull one back in the 22nd minutes of action bringing score line at half time to 2-1. 

On resumption of the second half, Miracle Joseph of Edo Queens was hacked down inside the penalty area, the center referee wasted no time in awarding a penalty to Edo Queens.

The changes paid off when Amarachukwu Onuorah, got a loose ball beating two defenders took the ball with her left foot straight into the net giving Edo Queens a convincing 4-1 win over the resilient Rivers Angels

Edo Queens head coach Moses Aduku in a post match interview, described Rivers Angels as a tough team who came with the mind set to win. 

"First and foremost, I thank God for the victory, I must tell you that Rivers Angels is not a push over side. They came with the mind set to win. They are good, they gave us a run for our money. I must commend them for that. But my girls know what to do, they got their chances and utilize them. Though we lost several chances of scoring more goals, but all the same I thank God for the result".

"One area I will go back and work on is our defense, they didn't play as expected. Before our next game against Sunshine Queens, we would have corrected the area we needed to correct. Good game for us we are happy because we have worked so hard for it. It is actually a sweet revenge. For me it is one game at a time. We are done with this, we are going back to prepare for the next game against Sunshine Queens. Every team is a contender for the Super 6 ticket. We are confidence that we would get there by His grace."
