It was a day light robbery in Matchday 4 of the Nigeria Women Football League(NWFL) Premiership as referee blunder cost Delta Queens another away loss.
The Pearls after a disappointing 6-2 loss to Rivers Angels headed to Lafia with the hope of picking their first away win.
Coach David Ochei made two changes to the squad that defeated Sunshine Queens in Agbor Township Stadium on Matchday 3.
Having lost their two previous home games, Delta Queens were hoping to capitalise on Nasarawa Amazons’ poor start to the season.
But their effort was thwarted by poor officiating that resulted to a goal for the host.
