Nasarawa Amazons’ chances of qualifying for this season’s Super 4 tournament is in danger following a 2-0 loss to NWPL debutants Kaduna Queens.

In Group A, Vivian Ikechukwu’s 45th minute strike earned Rivers Angels a crucial away win over Osun Babes as the AITEO Cup finalists tightened their grip at the top of the group. FC Robo is however not giving up on top spot yet by clinching all three points at home to Delta Queens Courtesy of Olabiyi’s first half goal. The Lagos-based team are currently second with just two points behind Rivers Angels in top spot.

Goals from Chinyere Njoku and Idike Jiroro ensured a 2-0 win over debutants Dream Star Ladies which meant all three points went to Heartland Queens who sit pretty in third with four points.
Confluence Queens struck a late blow to bottom placed Abia Angels in Group D to maintain their lead at the top on matchday 4. An 82nd minute equaliser from Adoo Yina earned the leaders an important point away from home as the battle for a Super 4 slot continues.
