Onyinyechukwu Okeke – The Ineeh Queens youngster was on holidays at the beginning of the game but was never found wanting when called to duty. (7/10)


Mary Ologbosere – Another energetic show saw Mary stamp her foot on the right side of defence. She wasn't afraid to attack, a required ingredient of a modern day full back. One of her forays led to the second goal after a well-timed cross to Uchenna. (8.5/10)

Ayomide Anibaba – She was solid as a left-back and frustrated the Chinese from raiding operating the flanks. She showed her versatility by slotting as a central midfielder in the latter stages of the match. (7/10)

Esther Elijah – The team sweeper rarely made mistake. Her strength at the back was crucial for the Flamingoes. (7.5/10)

(9/10)

Uchenna Kanu– The Pelican Stars winger was a menace down both flanks with series of step-overs and industry. She was right on the spot to connect Mary's teasing cross.
