Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League side Ampem Darkoa Ladies Football Club has clinched its first ever win at the main stage of the CAF Women’s Champions League thanks to a 2-1 win over Morocco’s ASFAR.
Ampem Darkoa conceded early in the first half with ASFAR’s Najat Badri getting the goal but Woman of the Match Award winner Comfort Yeboah equalized in the second half with a well taken strike.
Yeboah underlined her sterling performance by playing a role in Ampem Darkoa’s second when her cross into ASFAR’s box got deflected into the net for an own goal.
Speaking after the game, Yeboah described the tie as a very difficult match but was happy her side managed to pull through and get the win.
“It wasn’t an easy game, very difficult, but we fought and we were able to win the game. The coach spoke to us and assured us we can do it, and it really helped us” she said through an interpreter.
Ampem Darkoa plays Malian side AS Mande next on November 9.
