'Awalokan' to represent Nigeria at CAF Women's Champions League - Delta Queens claims

Fehintola Mabokanje missed the resulting spot kick and the Prosperity Girls went into the dugout with a 1-0 lead.
Determined to avoid its first loss of the campaign, coach Blankson introduced Chinaza Agoh and Inyang Esther in place of Olabiyi Folajomi Alaba and Sandra Johnosi in the 65th minute.
The adjustments worked because Agoh scored a beautiful goal in the form of an acrobatic goal for Delta two minutes after her debut.
