Delta Queens’ remarkable journey in the WAFU B Champions League Qualifiers commenced with a resounding victory over USFA of Burkina Faso, igniting jubilant celebrations led by their captain, Taiwo Afolabi.
As reigning champions of the Nigeria women’s football league, the Delta Queens’ performance under Afolabi’s leadership at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium was nothing short of spectacular, as they clinched a decisive 3-0 victory in the opening game of the campaign on Sunday.
The game witnessed the Delta Queens’ dominion, with goals from the stellar trio of Alaba Olabiyi, Chinaza Agor, and Mercy Omokwo.
Olabiyi’s precision kick secured the opening goal barely 5 minutes into the match, setting the tone for their commanding play.
The momentum only intensified when Agor further widened the lead to 2-0 just 16 minutes into the second half, leaving their opponents struggling to keep pace.
Despite facing adversity, including playing with only 10 players following Vera Samuel’s expulsion, the indomitable spirit of the NWFL side still managed to shine through as Mercy Omokwo secured the win 18 minutes later.
