Nigeria Women Premier League Wrap

The new Nigeria Women Premier League commenced with five games taking place across five centres (Ede, Oleh, Benin, Akure and Omoku).

The match between Adamawa Queens and Pelican Stars was postponed due to security concerns at the Atiku Abubakar Stadium, Fufure.

A total of 11 goals was scored, an average of 2.2 per match.

The first goal of the new campaign was netted by Osun Babes winger Ganiyat Adeleke who was on song in the 3rd minute.

Rivers Angels full-back Ugo Njoku scored the goal of the week, thus making her stock rise by the day.

The match of the week between bitter rivals Delta Queens and Rivers Angels lived up to it billing with both sides bombarding each other from the blast of the centre referee's whistle.

Former Bayelsa Queens defender Ugo Njoku got Rivers on the ascendency 8 minutes into the game, but Delta Queens got themselves back into the game through playmaker Ngozi Okobi's 45th minute strike.

Osun Babes proved their supremacy over Ibom Angels with a 2-1 victory at the Federal Polytechnic Pitch in Ede on Saturday.

The hosts got the curtain raiser in the 3rd minute through Ganiyat Adeleke after a rare mistake from Super Falcons goalkeeper Tochukwu Oluehi in goal for Ibom.

Bassey Obot leveled up for the Uyo girls in the 13th minute

However, the reliable Seyi Gbadebo scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the 26th minute for Osun.

Confluence Queens endured terrible playing condition at the Krisdera Stadium to claim a 0-0 draw on the road against Bayelsa Queens on Saturday.

They had to rely on the har

Taraba Queens ace Lamba Princess had her first half goal cancelled out by Ineeh Queens' Idoroye Id in a tension soaked encounter at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday. It was a hard result on the away side as they felt they had done enough to earn the maximum points.

Sunshine Queens were in no mood for friendship as they dismissed league champions Nasarawa Amazons in a 3-1 win at the Akure Township Stadium.

Delta Queens 1-1 Rivers Angels
Osun Babes 2-1 Ibom Angels
Sunshine Queens 3-1 Nasarawa Amazons
