Edo Queens sent a seismic shockwave through the NWFL Premiership Super Six playoffs at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The Benin Gunners absolutely dismantled a Abia Angels side in a high-scoring thriller, building beautifully on their previous dominant Matchday 2 victory over FC Robo Queens.
A spectacular hat-trick from the lethal Chioma Moses, alongside clinical goals from super-sub Precious Oscar and Atume Doosuur, emphatically ended Abia Angels’ unbeaten run.
Edo Queens Coach Moses Aduku Demands Perfection After Abia Angels Rout
Despite watching his team put on a superb performance, head coach Moses Aduku cuts the figure of a strict perfectionist.
While the fans celebrated the dominant win, the gaffer focused heavily on the defensive lapses that allowed Mariam Abdulrasheed and Blessing Saleh to pull goals back for the Angels.
He expects flawless concentration from his squad moving forward.
“I’m not smiling because we allowed them to score 2 silly goals. Sometimes you might not understand. When you are scoring like this and you allow them to score, at the end you might be surprised; points come to count, goals come to count.
And you begin to blame yourself: Why did we allow them to score this number of goals? It was 2 silly goals, the first and the second goals, so I’m not happy with that. So I need to let them know that we need to do better than that. If we win by 6-0, nothing spoil. So na em make I dey vex.”
NWFL Super Six Showdown: No Fear Against Rivers Angels Host
With back-to-back wins safely secured, the Benin Gunners are already shifting their gaze to a massive Matchday 4 clash on Friday.
Standing in their way are the formidable tournament hosts, Rivers Angels. It is a highly anticipated match, but Coach Aduku maintains that his team will treat the hosts just like any other opponent on their quest for the trophy.
“We take every match as it comes. We are done with this; our focus is on Rivers, another good side, because every team that qualified for the Super 6, they are good.
But honestly, we are here to do business. Our business is to win, so we are planning to win our next game. We don’t want to know if it’s the host or not the host, but the important thing is that we do our business.”
