Delta Queens 2-2 Confluence Queens

Goals from Moses Chioma and Peter Martha in the final 26 minutes earned Confluence Queens a point against Delta Queens.

Delta Queens started the game on fire with Chinaza Agoh stabbing home the opener in five minutes.

Five minutes later, Agoh registered another goal after Confluence Queens failed to clear their lines.

The fightback was sparked by a series of substitutions which brought fresh impetus to the team. Subs Merit Offor and Peter were particularly influential.

What did they say?

Alan Regina, Goalkeeper of Adamawa Queens: "Well it's a game, but it actually pained us that we lost, so we have to just go back and correct our mistakes.

Efe Osakpolo, captain of Edo Queens: "Our target is to win the trophy, we didn't come here for the jamboree, like what the goalkeeper of Adamawa Queens said, that we are a good side and stronger than them and we showed that.

"Our coach always tells us to show class when we play against our opponents and we always do so."

Chinaza Agoh, Delta Queens player, "On a personal level, I feel great because I was able to play well.

"I have more to show to the world and I'm prepared to live up to expectations."

Martha Peter, Confluence Queens Super Sub: "It's a great privilege to play alongside my teammates as we were able to grind out good results."

"Starting is up to the coaches, I always enjoy every moment when given the chance."

Loveth Edeh, Nasarawa Amazons player, "I feel very happy scoring a brace for the first time in my career.

"We knew, we were going to win the game, it's not that they are not at our level but we always have a winning mentality going into any match."

Patience Agatha, Honey Badgers Captain: "We took the loss in good faith, we tried our best. We are trying hard and looking forward to the next games.

"We are preparing very hard, we have been working and I believe we will get there."
