How Edo Queens NWFL Champions Stood Ground in Port Harcourt
The decisive matchday played out at the iconic Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Facing off against the defending champions, Bayelsa Queens, the stakes could not have been any higher. Bayelsa Queens entered the final pitch knowing they strictly needed an outright victory to secure the title.
Meanwhile, the disciplined Benin ladies required only a single point to claim historical glory. Oya, look at what happened next because tension completely everywhere!
The match itself was a cagey, high-octane affair that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Both sides mounted continuous counter-attacks and created goal-scoring opportunities, but the clinical defensive line of the Benin squad held firm.
The final whistle blew at a 0-0 stalemate, securing the 10th point of the Super Six tournament for the squad. It was a performance reflecting the pure competitive grit seen globally in matches like the intense Mexico vs South Africa World Cup 2026 clash.
But some football analysts are screaming that the newly crowned Edo Queens NWFL Champions deliberately parked a massive bus just to escape defeat. Was it an elite tactical masterclass, or did they just play cowardly football to secure a draw? Tell us in the comments!
The Incredible Super Six Journey for Coach Moses Aduku
The road to becoming the official Edo Queens NWFL Champions was a true test of character and tactical resilience.
The team encountered an early stumbling block on Matchday One after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Nasarawa Amazons. Abeg, many people think say the girls don bounce drop!
But rather than buckling under pressure, Head Coach Moses Aduku re-engineered the team’s approach completely. What followed was a ruthless display of offensive football power.
The squad quickly bounced back to dismantle FC Robo Queens 4-1 in their second fixture before launching an astonishing 6-2 thrashing against Abia Angels.
A hard-fought 2-1 victory over the host team, Rivers Angels, on Matchday Four put them back in the driver’s seat. This left them needing just the final draw against Bayelsa to take home the trophy.
This generated a local stadium atmosphere reminiscent of the historic energy felt during the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup opening match events. How they went from a Matchday One disaster to a scoring machine has left sports fans asking serious questions about what actually changed behind closed doors in their camp!
With this victory, Coach Moses Aduku has effectively carved his name into the history books. He becomes the first manager in the competition’s history to secure three championship titles in just a six-season window.
He previously guided Bayelsa Queens to victory in 2022 before leading this current squad to their 2024 and 2026 triumphs. No be small thing o! But is Aduku truly the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in Nigerian women’s football coaching, or is he just blessed with the biggest financial budgets?
