Under the guidance of Coach Moses Aduku, the team started strong, with Essien scoring in the fifth minute from a well-placed cross by Ljamilusi. The Benin-based squad doubled their lead in the 54th minute, as Ljamilusi capitalized on a clever combination with Esther Moses, sending the ball into the top corner of the net.
With the match firmly under their control, the Nigerians maintained a significant share of possession, while CBE struggled to threaten their defense. The victory was sealed in the 80th minute when 17-year-old substitute Osigwe skillfully controlled a pass from Moses and fired a left-footed shot that left the goalkeeper helpless.
This commanding win positions the Queens at the top of Group B, with FC Masar trailing them after their earlier 1-0 victory over reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies. Edo Queens will next face FC Masar of Egypt in their second group match on Wednesday.
