Bayelsa Queens FC edged Ahudiyannem Queens of Abiriba, Abia State 1-0 in the first of their series of friendly games at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Ovom, Yenagoa.

The Prosperity Girls produced a disciplined performance to secure a slender advantage ahead of Sunday’s second leg at the same venue.

Juliet Sunday emerged as the saviour for the Yenagoa side, scoring the only goal of the encounter in the 92nd minute.

The forward finished off a well-worked attacking move after the goalkeeper of Ahudiyannem Queens paried the ball ball into her path, with Juliet making no mistake to give Bayelsa Queens a deserved victory.

The goal capped an encouraging opening period for the Prosperity Girls, who took the game to their more tougher opponents.

Ahudiyannem Queens also had some anxious moment, but the defense of Bayelsa Queens stood firm to thwart the efforts of the girls from Abiriba.

The first half ended goalless, after both teams gave good account of themselves.

Both teams returned for the second half with greater urgency and the goal eventually arrived when all thought it would end goalless with Juliet Sunday, giving coach Wemimo Matthew’s side a reason to smile in the 92nd minutes.

However, the job is far from complete. Bayelsa Queens will take on Ahudiyannem Queens on Sunday by 8 O’clock in the morning for the second leg at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Ovom, Yenagoa.
