Naija Ratels forward Azeezat Obadun has expressed her delight after her team secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Benue Queens in their latest NWFL match.
Obadun described the match as a “very strong” encounter, admitting that her team didn’t expect it to be so challenging.
“The game yesterday was a very strong match, I won’t lie, we didn’t expect the match to turn out that way, but we thank God for giving us the victory,” she told NAIRA SPORTS.
Despite the difficulties, Obadun was pleased with her team’s overall performance in the first round of the season.
“It wasn’t a bad one so far because we’ve only lost just 1 match throughout the first round,” she noted.
Obadun attributed her team’s success to their pre-season planning, which focused on making it to the Super Six.
“Our performance this season is actually a good one, and the reason is that we planned not to just participate in the league but to make it to the Super Six, and that’s what we have been working on,” she explained.
On a personal level, Obadun is targeting the top scorer award in the league.
“My goals and target of the season is to be among the top scorer in the league, and I think it’s still very much achievable,” she said.
While Obadun has only played two matches so far, she is determined to improve her performance, particularly in the attacking area.
“I will rate my performance so far this season 40%. I have only played 2 matches, and I hope to improve in my attacking area in the scoring aspect,” she admitted.
Obadun is confident that fans can expect more goals from her and more wins from her team.
“More goals should be expected from me, and winning should be expected from my team,” she concluded.
