The Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) match day three was a bumper midweek that produced sensational ties in all the seven centres.
Reigning league champions Rivers Angels got a 3-0 home win over FC Robo Queens at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium. A brace from Cynthia Aku and Chinaza Uchendu's well taken spot kick proved to be enough to push the Jewel of Rivers to the top of the Group A log with 4 points from 2 games.
Tessy Biawho got two goals as Bayelsa Queens pummeled Abia Angels 4-0 at the Nembe City Stadium. The other goals was netted by Adeboyejo Yetunde and Joy Bokiri.
Heartland Queens capped a 3-1 home win against Sunshine Queens to bring some happiness to their fold. Eunice Ajuwa, Oluchi Onah and Maduerosi Chinenye grabbed the goals with Ijeoma Obi scoring what became the consolation for the Owena Mermaids.
Confluence Queens continued their impressive start to the season courtesy of a 3-0 dismissal of Osun Babes in Lokoja. Tobi Olanrewaju, Oyateleme Tina and Paulinus Ifeoma were on target for the New Direction Queens who are 2nd in the Group B table with 7 points from a possible nine.

Delta Queens fought back from a goal down to extinguish Saadatu Amazon 2-1 at the Kwale Township Stadium. Charity Orlu silenced Delta Queens supporters with an audacious effort that sailed beyond goalkeeper Rita Akarekor late in the first half. Oluwaseun Fakunle, who was making her first start of the season showed predatory instinct to riffle home a bullet from 22 yards for the equaliser nine minutes into the second half. Bulky striker Emueje Ogbiagbevha struck the match winner deep into injury time.
