From recess, Thunder Queens lifted their game to chase for a point at least with the introduction of new players as this yielded results after substitute Adjei managed to pull one back.
Thunder Queens kept pushing for an equalizer but the Hasmal defense proved why they are the best in the country, negating all means for the equalizer.
Coach Yussif Basigi’s side finished the first round unbeaten with 21 points out of a possible 27, winning six matches and drawing three.
