Vihiga Queens – Reviving hopes

The Kenyans conceded early against South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, and despite seeing some chances in the game they could not find an equalizer.

Vihiga Queens goalkeeper Lilian Onyango Awuor would need to be once again at her top. The “Woman of the Match” against Sundwons will have threats from ASFAR’s brilliant attacking dup Sanaa Mssoudy and Ghizlane Chebbak.

What they said

“We’ve trained to play defensively but against Sundowns we did not defend well. To be able to attack, we have to defend and prevent goals, so when we do that we can win,” Charles Okere, Coach.

ASFAR – To the Semis

The Moroccan Army side was dominant from the start to the end against Rivers Angels, to force themselves as one of the tournament favorites looking to the way they played.

Sanaa Mssoudy’s hattrick from skipper Ghizlane Chebbak hattrick of assists proved brilliant for ASFAR, who knows another win means nothing but a place in the final four.

What they said

“The first 3 points give us huge motivation for the rest of the matches. Every coach wishes for his players to be the best,” Abdallah Haidamou, Coach.
