AS FAR and TP Mazembe secure their place in the semi-finals of the CAF Women’s Champions League
CAF Women’s Champions League 2024 hosts AS FAR will be joined in the semi-finals by TP Mazembe in the ongoing competition in Morocco.
Both teams qualified for the knockout stages following their respective victories in the final group matches played on Friday evening.
African champions in 2022, AS FAR, who had started slowly and suffered strong pressure, showed maturity to achieve a 2-0 victory against the University of Western Cape, whose competitive adventure has ended.
With a double from young Doha El Madani, the hosts signed their third victory in as many matches, finishing the group stage at the top of Group A and continuing their quest for the title.
For her part, Priscille Kreto was the heroine of the match in Casablanca when TP Mazembe secured a big 4-0 victory against the Aigles de la Médina, to qualify for the semi-finals for the first time in their history in competition.
After a first half without goals, the Congolese came out stronger after the break and scored four goals against the already eliminated Senegalese.
Larcho Marta opened the scoring in the 49th minute, before Kreto scored twice in the 51st and 64th minutes, sealing the fate of the match.
The final nail in the coffin was planted by Merveille Nanguji in the 71st minute, concluding an exceptional performance from TP Mazembe, who progressed to the knockout stages.
