Three clubs, six performances, and one vote that will decide the most memorable individual contribution of the NWFL Super Six’s second matchday in Port Harcourt. The nominees reflect a round that produced a giant killing, a comeback, and a demolition all in the space of one afternoon.
The NWFL Premiership Super Six Top Performer poll for Matchday 2 is open, and the six shortlisted players represent three clubs whose stories on Monday could not have been more different. Nasarawa Amazons completed a stoppage time comeback over reigning champions Bayelsa Queens. Abia Angels wrote a new page in their history with a 1-0 win over Rivers Angels. Edo Queens stamped their title credentials with a four goal rout of FC Robo Queens. Each performance that shaped those results has produced a nominee.

The Six Nominees in Full
Chioma Moses — Edo Queens (Forward)
The most eye-catching individual display of the matchday came from Edo Queens’ Chioma Moses, who scored twice in the first half to lay the foundation for a 4-1 victory over FC Robo Queens. Her brace arrived before the interval and effectively ended the contest as a meaningful contest before the second half began. Moses was composed in front of goal on both occasions, giving the goalkeeper no chance and providing Edo Queens with the kind of early platform that allowed the side to control the remainder of the match without anxiety. Her performance in the opening 45 minutes against Robo Queens sits among the most clinical first-half showings of the entire Super Six campaign so far.
Winner David — Abia Angels (Forward)
Winner David’s headed goal in the 26th minute against Rivers Angels is the most historically significant strike of Matchday 2 in terms of what it means to the club. It delivered Abia Angels’ first ever Super Six victory in the NWFL championship playoffs. The header was decisive, well-timed, and held up as the only goal of the match as Abia Angels held on against a Rivers Angels side that had home support behind them and the motivation of a club playing on familiar ground. That the goal came from a header rather than a close range finish or individual skill move reflects the physical and technical preparation behind what looked, in the moment, like an instinctive attacking contribution.
Onyedikachi Ekezie — Abia Angels (Defender)
The fact that Abia Angels kept a clean sheet against a Rivers Angels attack in Port Harcourt is not solely attributable to the goalkeeper. Centre-back Onyedikachi Ekezie marshalled the backline throughout the match, organising her defensive partners and making the interventions required to keep the home side from finding the equaliser they searched for persistently after going behind. Her inclusion in the nominees alongside two attacking teammates reflects the organisation and leadership she provided at the back, qualities that are sometimes harder to see than goals but just as vital in a tight 1-0 result against a strong opponent.
Fatimah Oloko — Abia Angels (Goalkeeper)
The clean sheet belongs to the whole unit, but the saves belong to Fatimah Oloko. The Abia Angels goalkeeper produced a series of crucial stops across the 90 minutes to preserve the lead that Winner David had given them, and she did so against a club she knows well, having previously represented Rivers Angels before making the switch to Abia. The personal dimension of a keeper keeping a clean sheet against her former club adds a layer to her performance that the bare statistics do not fully capture. Three Abia Angels players in the Matchday 2 nominees signals just how much of a collective achievement their first Super Six victory was, with contributions spread across every line of the pitch.
Ayatsea Hembafan — Nasarawa Amazons (Forward)
The most dramatic goal of the matchday was also the most important in terms of its effect on the Super Six standings. Ayatsea Hembafan scored in stoppage time to complete Nasarawa Amazons’ comeback from 1-0 down against Bayelsa Queens, maintaining the Lafia-based club’s perfect start to the championship round. Hembafan came on during a period when Nasarawa were chasing an equaliser, and her goal gave the club maximum points from a match they had looked set to lose for much of the second half. A stoppage-time winner in a Super Six encounter against the reigning champions is the kind of goal that stays with a player and a fanbase for a long time.
Precious Oscar — Edo Queens (Forward, substitute)
Impact substitutes rarely make individual award shortlists, which makes Precious Oscar’s inclusion a meaningful acknowledgement of what she brought off the bench in Edo Queens’ 4-1 win. Introduced by the coaching staff after the interval, she scored quickly after coming on and helped her side build the kind of result margin that eliminates all remaining doubt about a match outcome. Her ability to make an immediate contribution without needing time to settle into the game is a quality that coaches value highly in a competition where results are tight and rotation matters across multiple fixtures inside a compressed schedule.
The vote for Matchday 2 Top Performer is open through the NWFL’s official channels. The Matchday 1 Top Performer award, won by Nasarawa Amazons’ Blessing Ogungbure with a strong fan vote, set the standard for what this recognition means to the players and their clubs. Whoever wins the Matchday 2 vote will join her as one of the six individual award holders when the Super Six concludes in Port Harcourt.

📌 Did You Know?
- The NWFL Super Six Matchday Top Performer award is decided entirely by fan voting through the league’s official social media channels, making it one of the few individual honours in Nigerian domestic football at any level that is determined directly by supporter participation rather than a panel of judges.
- Fatimah Oloko kept a clean sheet against her former club Rivers Angels on Matchday 2, a detail that added a personal dimension to what was already one of the most significant saves sequence performances of the Super Six round. Goalkeeper transfers between clubs within the same Super Six group are relatively uncommon and create unique competitive reunions.
- Abia Angels’ three nominees from a single Matchday, Winner David, Onyedikachi Ekezie, and Fatimah Oloko are the most nominations from one club in a single Super Six matchday shortlist in recent NWFL history, reflecting just how complete their 1-0 performance against Rivers Angels was from back to front.
- Ayatsea Hembafan’s stoppage time winner for Nasarawa Amazons was the latest-timed goal of the Super Six so far, arriving deep into added time after Nasarawa had been pegged back from 1-0 up to 1-1 by Bayelsa Queens earlier in the second half. Goals in the final minute of added time carry an outsize psychological impact in a round-robin competition where goal difference can decide titles.
- Precious Oscar’s nomination as an impact substitute highlights one of the tactical realities of the NWFL Super Six format with six matches in a compressed window, clubs who manage their bench intelligently and rotate without losing quality gain a measurable advantage over those who rely on a fixed starting eleven throughout.
- Chioma Moses has been among Edo Queens’ most consistent attacking contributors throughout the 2025-26 NWFL Premiership season, including the regular season, and her Matchday 2 brace against Robo Queens continued a run of form that has made her one of the Super Six’s most feared strikers going into the second half of the championship round.
- Winner David’s goal against Rivers Angels made Abia Angels only the second club to win their Super Six debut match in the NWFL’s championship playoff era, a statistical detail that underlines just how difficult it traditionally is for first time Super Six qualifiers to win from the very first opportunity in the competition.
