Delta Queens 2-1 Bayelsa Queens

The bronze medalist in the CAF Women's Champions League and Cup holders 2022 WAFU-B had a free kick at the edge of the box in the 13th minute of the cagey match.

Prior to Chisom Henry's regrettable goal, Zainab Olapade's free kick in the 14th minute struck the woodwork.

Tosan Blankson's team pushed forward for the equalizer as its 15-game unbeaten streak was on the line and had an opportunity in the 45th minute after Bayelsa Queens skipper Uzoamaka Igwe pulled down Mercy Omokwo inside the area.

Fehintola Mabokanje missed the resulting spot kick and the Prosperity Girls went into the dugout with a 1-0 lead.

Determined to avoid its first loss of the campaign, coach Blankson introduced Chinaza Agoh and Inyang Esther in place of Olabiyi Folajomi Alaba and Sandra Johnosi in the 65th minute.

We will bounce back - Okara

Okara has disclosed that they will bounce back next season, faulting losing his players to foreign clubs.

He said, “We came up with a plan to win the match but we lost. We cannot win every game. I wish the winners the best of luck. We lost some attackers. Some of them have traveled to Europe. The only area where we had challenges was in attack.
