While speaking after the match, the head coach of the team, Suileman Adamu, says his girls gave it all and deserved to win.
“Rivers Angels are a good side but Confluence Queens look better and deserve to win.
“We played against more of a Super Falcons side, more experienced but our halftime pep talk helped a lot.
“This is our first win against Rivers Angels in many years, we are happy we got the revenge at a time it matters most.”
Zico as the gaffer is fondly called is also confident his side can lift the coveted Federation Cup trophy.
“Our target is to lift the cup, when you knocked out defending champions, it means you have all it takes. We won’t relent in our efforts, until we win the cup.”
However, Rivers Angel coach Whyte Ogbonda, believes his team gave away the match.
“We have ourselves to blame, we gave away the match. Confluence Queens is also a good side, and I know they can win the cup if they work hard.”
Confluence Queens will travel to Akwa Ibom this weekend to face Ibom Angels.
