The excitement of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Matchday 15 reached another level this week as the battle for the Super Six intensified.
In Lagos, Robo Queens showed remarkable patience to overcome a stubborn defense. Rodiat Yusuf finally broke the tie in the 86th minute, while Opeyemi Ajakaye added a second goal during injury time to secure a 2-0 win.
Group B Leaders Pull Away as Rivals Stumble
This result gives Robo Queens a comfortable six-point cushion at the top of Group B.
Their position was further strengthened by a surprise result elsewhere, where Nasarawa Amazons fell 1-0 to Osun Babes.
