It\u2019s not a surprise to me we got up to seven. We have been having lots of goal-scoring games. Some matches we played, we scored four or five. If we had taken all our chances, it would have been more than seven,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Boboye admitted he had little information about the opponents before the encounter, having been unable to find much about the Nigerien champions online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know anything about them because I tried to search for them on the net, I couldn\u2019t find anything about them. So we just decided to take the game the way it came,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Edo Queens now face tougher tests against ASEC Mimosas and Ampem Darkoa, with Boboye expecting difficult games but targeting convincing wins in both.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next two games that we will be playing are going to be tough ones for us. Those are the games we need actually to win and win convincingly, because those are two teams that I know will be tough in the group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cASEC Mimosas lost their game, they will come out smoking to make sure they get the three points, but we won\u2019t allow that. We want to go out and still win the way we\u2019ve just done today, maybe, taking our chances and scoring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edo Queens interim coach Kennedy Boboye believes his side could have scored more than seven goals in their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":329074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[123729,123730,123731,123732,123733,34148,123734,9,24,63,123735,122,124,123,123736,94680],"class_list":["post-329073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-2026-caf-womens-champions-league","tag-2026-caf-womens-champions-league-wafu-b-qualifiers","tag-ampem-darkoa","tag-as-gnn","tag-asec-mimosas","tag-edo-queens","tag-kennedy-boboye","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-ouagadougou","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-wafu-b","tag-womens-champions-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
