Lagos based club, Robo Queens have gained qualification to the 2022/2023 Nigeria Women's Football League, NWFL Premiership Super Six tournament, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports

The feat was achieved after the Lagos Landladies defeated Confluence Queens in their final day game of the regular season by four goals to nil at the Legacy Pitch, Surulere.

After Delta Queens, Bayelsa Queens and Rivers Angels of group A and Edo Queens and Confluence Queens of group B secured qualification to the super six, a spot was left in group B and the final day was to determine which team takes it.

Hence, Robo Queens came out smoking, firing in all cylinders to take the only ticket remaining which they did in an emphatic style.

Although, things started slowly, yet it was just a matter of time before they got the opener courtesy of Folashade Ijamilusi in the 45th minute.

Rukayat Shobowale increased the tally for the ambitious hosts after a minute into the second half.

The score board changed in no distant time as Rukayat Oladiti fired home a screamer off Shukura Oladipo's assist in the 57th minute.

Folashade Ijamilusi notched her brace of the match for rampant Lagos Landladies from Esther Onyenezide pass in the 74th minute.
