The Benin Arsenals Ladies left it late to win 1-0 at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagao courtesy of a late strike by Captain Suliat Abideen in the last game of matchday 4.

A cagey and end-to-end affair it was in the first half ending in a goalless situation that produced only a shot on target from Edo Queens.

The second half saw more intensity from the Edo side who pushed for their third win of the tournament.
