NWPL Wrap: Sunshine Queens, Rivers Angels and Delta Queens celebrate wins

FC Robo Queens suffered their first defeat in the Nigeria Women's Premier League Super Six, with a 1-0 loss to Sunshine Queens at the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium on Friday.

After a three-match unbeaten run, the Lagos ladies missed a chance to extend their lead at the top as they crumbled narrowly to their Akure-based counterparts, who revived their title dreams.

Mercy Idoko's 36th-minute strike was enough for Wemimo Matthew's side to subdue Emmanuel Osahon's team as they ensured their return to winning ways in the tightly-contested encounter.
