Speaking after the game in Yenagoa, on Wednesday,Technical Adviser Bayelsa Queens FC, Domo Okara said “my girls would have wrapped up the game but they threw away so many goal scoring opportunities, don’t forget Rivers Angels are a good side and they punctured our game plan by their delay tactics when they netted the early goal”.
“But I must give kudos to my girls because they never allowed that early goal to demoralized them, we will go back to the drawing board and plug all the loop holes witnessed in the match and be well prepared for their next game against FC Robo Queens on the 20th of December, 2022 in Lagos”, Okara added.
