On a sunlit Wednesday in Lafia, Nasarawa Amazons reminded the NWFL why they remain one of the league’s fiercest contenders.
With the roar of home fans behind them, the Amazons put on a dazzling display, thrashing Confluence Queens of Lokoja 5-0 in a statement victory that brings them within touching distance of the coveted Super 6.
Leading the charge was Akekeromowei Janet, whose performance was nothing short of magical.
The forward danced through defenses, showcasing pace, precision, and an eye for goal as she netted a stunning hattrick that lit up the Lafia City Stadium.
Her opener set the tone, a well-placed finish that left the opposing goalkeeper rooted. She followed with two more, each goal displaying the kind of confidence that marks a player in top form.
Not to be outdone, Amina Bello added her name to the scoresheet, while captain Josephine Mathias capped the rout with a commanding finish that underlined the team’s dominance.
The victory not only boosts the Amazons’ goal difference but also strengthens their bid for a Super 6 playoff spot, reaffirming their ambitions of returning to the summit of Nigerian women’s football.
With momentum on their side and key players in top form, Nasarawa Amazons are sending a clear message: they are not just chasing the Super 6—they’re coming for the title.
