The final fixture of the day was between Delta Queens and reigning champions, Rivers Angels. Again Rivers Angels failed to find the cutting edge needed to take all three points as both sides settled for a point each. Despite the chances created, both teams lacked the cutting edge with Alice Ogebe also missing a penalty in the 73rd minute which might have handed Rivers the win.
With this result, Delta Queens stay level on point with FC Robo and Sunshine Queens as leaders after two games. Rivers Angels on the other hand stay fourth with two points from two games while Bayelsa and Edo Queens remain in 5th and 6th positions respectively.
Wednesday has been scheduled as rest day as action returns on Thursday morning.
