CAF Women's Champions League: Bayelsa Queens zoom into semi-final
The Porsperity Girls will now face hosts, AS FAR of Morocco in a potentially difficult semi final contest
Bayelsa Queens have secured a historic qualification for the semi final stage of the CAF Women’s Champions League after an emphatic 3-0 thumping of Wadi Degla of Egypt Sunday night in their final group game.
Juliet Sunday put Balyesa ahead in the eighth minute before Mercy Itimi added two other goals in the 48th and 53rd minutes to seal Bayelsa Queens' qualification into the last four.
Having finished as the runners up from their group, the Porsperity Girls will now face hosts, AS FAR of Morocco in a potentially difficult game on Wednesday.
AS FAR men’s club has been a difficult side for Nigeria over the years, eliminating all of them in continental ties.
Besides Bayelsa Queens having to face AS FAR at home, Morocco began the current no-win streak that the Super Falcons are facing after Nigeria’s semi-finals elimination in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
Super Falcons have since gone five matches without a win.
Having started their campaign on a loosing note, Bayelsa have been getting better with each game and would be hoping for an upset against their Moroccan opponents in the semi final.
