WATCH: Referees deny Delta Queens two legitimate goals at Rivers Angels in NWFL match

The issue of poor officiating has been one of the problems of the league, and it has not stopped

Nigeria Women Football League side Delta Queens were denied two legitimate goals by the referees in their away game against River Angels.

Delta Queens traveled to Port Harcourt for their NWFL week six fixture. The Queens were favorites to win the tie, as they had won four of their last five games, while Rivers Angels lost three of their five games.

Unfortunately, the game did not proceed without controversy. The referee ruled out a goal that was scored by Delta Queens because of a foul. However, they was no form of contact between the Delta Queens attacker and the Rivers United defender who fell after failing to clear the ball.
