Nasarawa Amazons delivered a dominant masterclass as they thrashed zonal rivals Confluence Queens 5-0 on Matchday 11 of the 2024/2025 NWFL Premiership. The hosts came out flying, finding the net five times in a ruthless display that left their visitors without answers.

The scoring began almost immediately, with Bello breaking the deadlock in the second minute. But the spotlight soon shifted to Akekoromwei Janet, who lit up the pitch with a blistering hat trick in the 3rd, 5th, and 24th minutes, giving Nasarawa an unassailable 4-0 lead by half-time.

The second half saw Mathias Josephine add a fifth goal, and with the game well in hand, the Amazons shifted into a possession-dominant style, showcasing a fluid, tiki-taka approach that thrilled the home crowd.

What impressed us wasn’t just the scoreline. It was the intent. From the very first minute, Nasarawa were on the front foot, pressing high, moving with purpose, and executing with precision. Akekoromwei Janet’s first half hat trick was the kind of performance that makes headlines, but it also reveals a team that plays with unity and belief.

It’s easy to lose focus when you're 4-0 up by half-time, but this side didn’t. Instead, they controlled the tempo in the second half, demonstrating not only technical finesse but also tactical maturity. It’s no that Coach Danjuma is focused on cohesion. This is a squad that plays as a unit, not just a collection of individuals chasing personal glory.

For Confluence Queens, the scoreline was harsh, but it offered a valuable lesson. Games like this expose weaknesses in communication gaps, defensive organisation, and mental resilience. Coach Okala’s honest assessment is a good starting point. Now the real work begins.

We believe this win could be a turning point in Nasarawa Amazon’s season. They’ve laid down a marker. Now it’s about sustaining that level, game after game. And if they do, don’t be surprised to see them lifting silverware at the end.
