The emphatic victory throws Edo Queens firmly back into championship contention as the battle for the coveted NWFL crown intensifies with every passing game.
Coming into the clash, Abia Angels had been one of the surprise packages of the tournament after making history with their impressive performances earlier in the competition. However, the defending champions responded in ruthless fashion, producing one of the biggest attacking displays of the Super 6 so far.
With the result, Edo Queens move to six points after three matches, level on points with high-flying Nasarawa Amazons, who still have a game in hand. Abia Angels remain on four points after suffering their first defeat of the playoffs.
