WAFU B Women’s Champions League: Bayelsa Queens Dominate ASKO to Secure Semi-Final Spot

Bayelsa Queens have officially booked their place in the semi-finals of the ongoing WAFU B Women’s Champions League after a commanding 3-0 victory against Togo’s ASKO on Wednesday.

The thrilling encounter began on a cautious note, with both teams unable to break the deadlock in the first half. However, the Prosperity Girls came back stronger after the break, capitalizing on their opponent’s weaknesses and showing their attacking superiority.

The breakthrough came when an own goal by ASKO’s defender, Oumou Bani, handed Bayelsa Queens the lead. Building on that momentum, Alaba Olabiyi doubled the advantage with a well-taken finish. The icing on the cake came from Shakirat Moshood, who sealed the win with a decisive strike.

Interestingly, Moshood’s goal marked her second in the tournament, further establishing her as one of Bayelsa Queens’ most reliable scorers in the competition.

As champions of the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL), Bayelsa Queens have lived up to their status, leading Group B with six points after two consecutive victories.

Their campaign started strongly when they edged out Ghana’s Police Ladies with a 2-1 win in their opening match on Sunday. With two victories already secured, the Prosperity Girls are in excellent form and will be looking to maintain their winning streak as they take on Sam Nelly FC of Benin Republic in their final group-stage match on Saturday.

This latest triumph not only boosts their confidence heading into the semi-finals but also highlights the rising dominance of Nigerian women’s football in regional competitions. The Bayelsa Queens are proving once again why they remain a powerhouse in African women’s football.
