Nasarawa Amazons grabbed the headline as they put seven goals past Honey Badgers on match day 4 of the Sheroes Cup on Monday morning.
Edo Queens continued their flawless streak at the tournament while Delta Queens dropped points for the first time.
Below is the wrap…….
Adamawa Queens 0-2 Edo Queens
Edo Queens humbled Adamawa Queens 2-0 at the Old Parade Ground with Emem Essien and Tosin Ogundeko on target.
Naija Ratels 1-1 Royal Queens
Naija Ratels dominated the game in the opening stages and they managed to take the lead through Bankole Sofiat on eight minutes.
Ijeje Favour equalized for the Warri based side late in the first half.
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 on 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.
Nasarawa Amazons 7-0 Honey Badgers
Nasarawa Amazons thrashed Honey Badgers 7-0 at the FIFA Goal Project Pitch.
First-half strikes from Kesiena Ojiyovwi, Dooshima Tarnum, Amirat Saheed and Edeh Loveth put the Amazons in control at the break, with Badgers failing to attempt a single shot on goal.
Loveth’s effort two minutes before the hour added a fifth for the Christopher Danjuma managed side, before Ahimize Grace brilliantly rifled in her first of the day to make it 6-0.
There was still one more from Grace as she also completed her brace just like Edeh Loveth.

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