Rivers Angels – Time to revive

An unexpected 3-0 defeat to Morocco’s ASFAR in their opening fixture meant Rivers Angels, who came to Cairo with great hopes, are in a tough situation where they need nothing but a win in their second group game.

Rivers Angels arrived barely 24 hours before their opening game and are expected to be in a better shape when they take on COSAFA Champions Sundowns on Tuesday.

What they said

“The team is tired from all the traveling issues and that’s the normal result. My job is to pick up their spirit,”, Edwin Okon, Coach.

Mamelodi Sundowns – One more win

For the South African champions, one more win will do it to the final four. Massandawana scored early through Melinda Kgadete and held on to take maximum points against Vihiga Queens.

Sundowns missed numerous scoring chances in their opening game, an aspect coach Agnes Nkosi will try to deal with before their second match.

What they said

“It’s good for us to have the three points to get the confidence the players need for future matches. We could’ve changed the result today if we’d converted our chances into goals, but this is what we’ll work on,” Agnes Nkosi, Coach.
