CAF WCL: Bayelsa Queens make history, book semifinal place with emphatic win
Bayelsa Queens

After beating Wadi Degla 3-0 in their final group match in the ongoing competition in Morocco, Nigeria's national champions Bayelsa Queens achieved history by becoming the first Nigerian team to advance to the knockout stage of the CAF Women's Champions League.

The Queens, who lost to Mamelodi Sundowns, the defending champions, in their initial group B match, battled back to defeat TP Mazembe 2-0 in their second match before easily defeating the Egyptian women's team Wadi Degla to clinch a semifinal position.

Just three minutes into the second half, Itimi Mercy extended the lead after Juliet Sunday had given the Nigerian teams the lone goal of the first half. Five minutes later, she netted her brace of the night to extend Queens’ lead to three goals.

The three goals were enough to send Bayelsa Queens into the next round of the CAF Women’s Champions League, finishing second in the group behind Mamelodi Sundowns.

Rivers Angels became the first Nigerian club to participate in the eight-team elite competition when they participated in the inaugural edition of the tournament last year but crashed out in the group stage.

However, Bayelsa Queens have now surpassed the continental feat which their local rivals were unable to achieve.

The Prosperity Girls will lock horns with ASFAR club of Morocco, who won all their three matches in the group stage for a place in the final on Wednesday 9th November, 2022.
