Edo Queens demonstrated their resilience and experience in their 2-1 victory over Abia Angels on Wednesday at the Umuahia Township Stadium. The defending champions made a strong statement with goals from Osigwu Goodness (35’) and Esther Moses (61’), while Abia Angels, despite a late penalty from Lucky Mary (76’), couldn’t come back from the deficit.
With this win, Edo Queens maintained an unbeaten streak, earning 23 points from nine games and holding the top spot in Group A of the abridged league. Coach Moses Aduku praised the team’s ability to capitalize on their opportunities despite the challenging pitch conditions, while also acknowledging the competitiveness of Abia Angels.
Looking ahead, Coach Aduku remains focused on their next match against Heartland Queens, emphasizing the importance of taking one game at a time. His ultimate goal is to secure a spot in the CAF Champions League, following a semifinal exit in the previous edition. But first, he and his team have their sights set on winning the Super Six tournament.
Edo Queens’ balanced approach to their game, mixing experienced defense with clinical finishing, has set them in a strong position in the league, and their determination to keep improving is clear.
