Golden Boot race tightens in Port Harcourt
Edo Queens striker Atume Doosuur continues to lead the standings with 12 goals, but her pursuit has faced a setback after she failed to score in her team’s first two Super Six matches. Even so, she still holds the top spot—though the gap is shrinking as challengers maintain pressure.
Key Super Six scorers move the chase forward
Several forwards have made meaningful progress, closing in on the early advantage and setting up a compelling run of fixtures.
- Rivers Angels forward Abasiofon Uwah reached 11 goals after scoring twice on Matchday One, but she was kept goalless in the team’s unexpected defeat to Abia Angels.
- FC Robo Queens striker Oluwakemi Adegbuyi raised her tally to 10 goals by scoring against Rivers Angels on Matchday One.
- Nasarawa Amazons captain Hembafan Ayatsea moved into the discussion with seven goals, matching the tally of Abia Angels’ Winner David Onajite.
- Ayatsea delivered the deciding strike as Lafia-based side Nasarawa Amazons beat Bayelsa Queens 2-1.
Who else remains in contention with games still to come
Beyond the front-runners, the competition remains open, with multiple players still within striking distance as the Super Six schedule continues.
- FC Robo Queens duo Opeyemi Ajakaye and Tosin Rafiu are both on six goals.
- Rivers Angels pair Grace Saliu and Ramotalahi Kareem also sit on six goals.
- Bayelsa Queens striker Ifeanyi Kindness is on six goals.
What’s at stake with only three matches left
Only two goals separate the top three contenders, and with three matches still to be played, the Golden Boot race has become one of the Super Six’s main attractions. With every goal in the remaining fixtures potentially proving decisive, the next set of performances could determine who ends the season as the league’s leading markswoman.
