Moses Aduku’s side struggled to break down their opponent early in the game.
The Nigerian champions however went into the break with a 1-0 lead courtesy of captain Suliat Abideeen’s fine finish.
The second half was also keenly contested but enterprising forward Emem Essien doubled Edo Queens lead on the hour mark.
Elizabeth Ukandu’s own goal 14 minutes from time put the game totally beyond Ainonvi FC.
