2025/2026 NWFL Match Day 8: Nasarawa Amazons Fall Narrowly to Sunshine Queens

Posted : 21 February 2026

Nigeria Women’s Football League Match Day 8 delivered a tense encounter in Akure as Nasarawa Amazons suffered a slim 1–0 defeat to Sunshine Queens FC in a fiercely contested clash.

The visitors endured an early scare when a penalty was awarded against them. Goalkeeper Udoka Unachukwu, who was cautioned in the process, redeemed herself with a superb save before her defence cleared the rebound to keep the game level.

Despite surviving that moment, the Amazons were undone in the 38th minute. A well-delivered cross from the left found Lucky Victoria, who rose highest to head home the decisive goal. The hosts carried their 1–0 advantage into the break.

After the restart, Nasarawa Amazons dominated possession and pressed aggressively for an equaliser. Their control of the midfield improved, and they forced Sunshine Queens onto the defensive. However, clear-cut chances were scarce, and their finishing lacked precision when it mattered most.

Sunshine Queens remained compact, disciplined, and tactically cautious, protecting their slender lead until the final whistle.

In his post-match remarks, Head Coach Christopher Danjuma voiced his frustration, questioning the overall quality and flow of the contest. Meanwhile, Sunshine Queens coach Olujohungbe admitted his side adopted a measured approach, limiting midfield support to guard against the Amazons’ attacking threats.

The defeat leaves Nasarawa Amazons with work to do as they prepare to host FC Robo Queens in Lafia in the final fixture of the first stanza. A positive response will be crucial to keep their campaign on track.
