A brace from Anastasia lifted Rising Star to victory sealing a place in the semifinals.

A highly competitive match between Immaculate Queens and Bravehearts FC ended 1-1 as Happiness Iloedozie canceled out Zuberu Ramat’s opener for the latter.

Immaculate Queens emerged winners 6-5 on penalties and will face Greenfoot Academy in the semi-final on Friday.

The other semi-final is between holders, Imo Striker Queens and Giant Empress.
