Enugu FA Cup: Immaculate Queens beat Green Foot Queens 3-0
Immaculate Queens FC on Wednesday defeated Green Foot FC 3-0 after a penalty shootout which followed a goalless full-time in the semi-finals of the Enugu State Women FA Cup competition.
In the match played at the Rangers International FC training pitch, Immaculate Queens FC kept Green Foot FC at bay throughout.
