The Matchday Four win pushed Edo Queens to nine points from four matches and set up a decisive final-day clash against defending champions Bayelsa Queens at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.

Aduku praised his players for their resilience and discipline after bouncing back from an opening-day defeat to record three consecutive victories in the competition.

“I want to give kudos to my girls for playing to instruction and also for believing in ourselves that we could bounce back after that opening defeat,” Aduku said after the match.

Despite the impressive turnaround, the experienced tactician stressed that the team’s mission is far from complete, warning against premature celebrations ahead of the title showdown.

“We are not celebrating yet. Our focus completely shifts to Bayelsa Queens — that’s all I can say for now. We know we have one final hurdle to clear against a very tough opponent who happen to be the defending champions,” he added.

The upcoming encounter is expected to be a thrilling finale to the NWFL Super Six, with Bayelsa Queens also still in contention for the title as they seek to defend their crown.

For Edo Queens, victory in the decisive fixture would complete a remarkable redemption story and secure the club’s first-ever NWFL Premiership title.

The Benin City side has shown remarkable character throughout the tournament, recovering from early disappointment to place themselves within touching distance of domestic glory.

All eyes will now be on Port Harcourt as two of Nigeria’s top women’s football clubs battle for supremacy in what promises to be a high-stakes season finale.
