Nnadozie's goalkeeping heroics help Rivers Angels edge Bayelsa Queens to NWPL final

Chaimaka Nnadozie put her goalkeeping heroics on display to help Rivers Angels pip Bayelsa Queens 4-2 to reach the final of the Nigeria Women's Premier League Super Four event on Friday.

The Port Harcourt outfit went into the contest in a bid to avenge a 2019 Women's Super Cup 2-0 loss to the defending champions in Yenegoa in August.

After a 0-0 first half, the two Nigeria top-flight giants could not be separated in 90 minutes as they both shared the spoils in regulation time before Rivers won the ensuing penalty kicks.

In the shootouts, Amaechi Ojini, Ifeoma Paulinus, Cynthia Aku and Blessing Okpe converted for Rivers but Anjor Mary and Joy Jerry missed at Nnadozie's expense.
