Confluence Queens show class, thrash Osun Babes

The New Direction Queens who have now extended their unbeaten start to the season to three matches came out smoking from on set as they settled for maximum points with three first half goals.

Tobiloba opened the scoresheet with a coolly finished free-kick in the 29th minutes after Osun Babes goalkeeper Obia Christy remained helpless as she was confused by one of her defenders who dodged the ball to beat her to the net.

The hosts through their new signing from Sunshine Queens Tina Oyathelemhi doubled their lead in the 38th with a deceiving header from Kemi Famuditi’s cross.
