The victory also secured Edo Queens a place in the upcoming CAF Women’s Champions League finals.

Ampem Darkoa made a blistering start to the final, taking the lead just two minutes after kick-off through Beline Nyarkoh.

Edo Queens responded almost immediately, with Doosuur Anastasia Atume restoring parity two minutes later to bring the Nigerian side level.

With the Ghanaian champions appearing set to claim the trophy, Edo Queens launched a late fightback and were rewarded deep into stoppage time.

Oluebube Umejiaku struck in the 94th minute to level the scores at 2-2 and force the contest into a penalty shootout.

Edo Queens then showed greater composure from the spot, converting four of their penalties while Ampem Darkoa managed only one successful attempt.
