Eight-Goal Thriller Headlines Matchday

 

 

The biggest spectacle of the round came in Lagos, where Dannaz Ladies edged Delta Queens 5-3 in a pulsating encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

 

An early own goal from Favour Damaris and a quick strike by Zainab Raji set the tone for Dannaz Ladies, who led 3-1 at halftime. Despite a spirited comeback that saw Oghenebrume Ikekhua net twice for Delta Queens, Ulumma Korie’s brace and a late finish from Solaty Fatimoh secured all three points for the hosts.
