Football fans have showered praise on Edo Queens goalkeeper Ademola Morufa after another remarkable performance in her team’s 2-1 victory over Abia Angels in their NWFL Matchday 9 clash at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.
The defending champions maintained their dominance in Group A, extending their lead at the top of the standings with 23 points from nine matches. Coach Aduku Moses set up his team to absorb pressure, allowing Abia Angels to control possession and register multiple shots on target.
“Amala”, as she’s fondly called, stood firm between the posts, making a series of crucial saves that kept her team in the game. Her efforts were nearly enough for a clean sheet, but she was eventually beaten by a second-half penalty.
One of the standout moments of her performance came in the 90th minute when she produced a breathtaking point-blank save to prevent Abia Angels from leveling the score.
Fans, recognizing her heroics, stormed the pitch after the final whistle to celebrate the young goalkeeper, who continues to prove herself as one of the league’s finest shot-stoppers.
