Joga Bonito Dominate Phoenix
Joga Bonito FC made an early statement by defeating Phoenix FC 3–1. Sarah stole the spotlight with a superb hat-trick, while Phoenix found their lone goal through Kemi. Despite flashes of fight from Phoenix, Joga Bonito’s attacking edge proved decisive.
SFA Female Frustrated by Midway Storm
Defending champions SFA Female were held to a 0–0 draw against Midway Storm FC. SFA Femini created series of chances but lacked the finishing touch to break the deadlock.
With Joga Bonito emerging as early frontrunners and SFA Female yet to hit top gear, the women’s category promises more twists as the competition progresses.
