Defending champions Bayelsa Queens boosted their chances of retaining the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership title after a convincing 2-0 victory over FC Robo Queens on Match Day 4 of the Super 6 playoffs.
Needing a positive result to maintain pressure on the frontrunners, the Prosperity Girls wasted no time asserting their authority as Kindness Ifeanyi struck just one minute into the encounter to hand the Yenagoa-based side a dream start.
The early goal set the tone for a dominant display from Bayelsa Queens, who controlled possession and dictated the tempo for much of the contest. FC Robo struggled to find rhythm against the champions' organized midfield and disciplined defensive structure.
Despite creating several promising opportunities, Bayelsa Queens were forced to wait until the closing stages before putting the result beyond doubt.
Their persistence paid off in the 83rd minute when substitute Ojiyovwi Kesiena made an instant impact, finding the back of the net with her first touch shortly after coming on.
The clean-sheet victory marked Bayelsa Queens' second consecutive win in the championship playoffs and underlined their growing momentum at a crucial stage of the competition.
At the other end, the Bayelsa defense remained resolute, effectively neutralizing FC Robo's attacking threats to secure another important shutout.
With one round of matches left to play, the result keeps Bayelsa Queens firmly in contention for the league crown, setting up a tense and potentially decisive final day in the race for the 2025/2026 NWFL Premiership title.
The commanding performance demonstrates the champion mentality of the Prosperity Girls as they hit peak form at the perfect moment. By combining early attacking efficiency with late tactical substitutions, the Yenagoa-based side showed why they remain a formidable force in Nigerian women's football. Fans can now look forward to an explosive final match day as the thrilling title race reaches its ultimate climax.
