In the other match of the day, Olori Babes defeated Police Machine FC by 2-0, thus becoming the only side that didn’t concede any goal at the NWFL Pro-League playoffs.
Eunice Godwin and Chika Idika scored in the 60th and 82nd minutes respectively to seal their team’s spot at the 2019/2020 NWFL.
Olori Babes finished with nine maximum points after winning all games played. Pelican Stars of Calabar finished with six points.
