The Prosperity Girls edged out Pacesetter Queens 2-0 at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa on Wednesday.

Ogbonda admitted that the Ibadan-based club gave them a good run in the game.

“It’s a good thing that we won, we actually needed more goals which we couldn’t get, but what is of utmost importance is the 3 points and we got it”, Ogbonda told Bayelsa Queens media.

“The team we played derailed our plan in the second half and that really destabilized us, also my girls were too much in a hurry that was why they missed lots of scoring chances.”

Bayelsa Queens will battle with Ibom Angels in their next league fixture.
