However, immediately after the break, the deadlock was broken after Oumou Bani hoofed a clearance, and the ball trickled into her own net. The Queens went ahead and soon doubled the lead.
A counterattack started by Shakirat Moshood was made deadlier by Seimeyeha Akekoromowei, who dribbled into the byline before floating a cross into the box, and Alaba Olabiyi was present to head home the second.
Moshood wrapped up the victory with an excellent shot into the bottom corner late in the game.
