Rivers Angels striker Peace Effiong delivered a sensational performance on Monday, scoring four goals in just 13 minutes as the Jewels of Rivers cruised to a resounding 12-0 victory over NAF Queens in the Round of 32 of the President Federation Cup.
The encounter, played at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, saw Rivers Angels completely dominate proceedings from start to finish in one of the biggest wins of the competition so far.
Effiong, who only recently returned to full fitness after spending a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury, produced a remarkable second-half display to further strengthen calls for her recall to Nigeria’s U-17 women national team. The young forward netted in the 73rd, 80th, 83rd and 86th minutes to cap off a memorable individual outing and earn Woman of the Match recognition.
Rivers Angels had already established control long before Effiong’s late heroics. Grace Saliu opened the scoring in the 9th minute before adding her second in the 25th minute, while Abasiofon Uwah struck in the 19th minute to put the Port Harcourt side firmly in command.
Patience Otubo made it four just before halftime in the 41st minute before Ramotalahi Kareem extended the lead shortly after the restart in the 49th minute. Tejiri Edward added another in the 56th minute, while Zainab Oduga and Chisom Nwachukwu got on the scoresheet in the 68th and 72nd minutes respectively.
Peace Effiong then stole the spotlight with a devastating four-goal burst that completed the emphatic victory for Rivers Angels.
The dominant display underlines Rivers Angels’ ambitions in this year’s President Federation Cup as they continue their pursuit of another domestic title.
