Bello Turns Heroine As Confluence Queens Zooms To Fed Cup Quarters
Confluence Queens dumped Ibom Angels out of the Federation Cup, booking
their place in the quarterfinals with a 4-3 win on penalties in their
last 16 clash at the Neros Stadium on Wednesday.<br /><br />Both sides failed to break the deadlock at the end of regulation time.<br /><br />The
Wada Queens had the upper hand to score after goalkeeper Gift Andy was
given the marching orders after she was adjudged to have brought down a
goal bound Lola Philips in the 61st minute.<br /><br />A penalty kick was awarded to Confluence Queens, but Mariam Aluko saw her effort hit the upright.<br /><br />It
took the alertness of the Victoria Aidelomon captained back-four and
series of misses from Confluence Queens to take the game to penalty
shootouts.<br /><br />Goalkeeper Bello Oluwaseun was the heroine as she saved two spot-kicks in the shootouts.<br /><br />“We
had a very good game today (Wednesday), even though we failed to
convert our chances. The regulation time result was not a true
reflection of our performance,” chief coach of Confluence Queens Adamu
Suleiman aka “Zico” was quoted by club<span class="body1">’ </span>s spokesperson Ojo Tosin.<br /><br />“I<span class="body1">’</span>m proud with the response of my players because we had a bad game last weekend against Osun Babes in Lokoja,” he continued.<br /><br />“We are all aware of our target in this competition, and we must continue to work even harder to meet up with our objective. <br /><br />“I am aware a lot need to be corrected after Wednesday<span class="body1">’ </span>s game, especially, our finishing,” Zico admitted.
