Hasaacas to face Mamelodi in the CAF Women's Cup final

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies of South Africa had to go through penalty shootouts to eliminate Malabo Kings of Equatorial Guinea from the CAF Women’s Champions League to book a ticket to the final, winning 5-4 on the lotteries after a barren draw in additional time.

The COSAFA Zonal Champions finished top of Group B with seven points which set up a semi-final clash with Group A’s second-placed side in Malabo Kings who wrapped up the group stage with four points.

Both sides were unable to find the back of the net after 90 minutes and additional 30 minutes of extra time which made the game go into penalty shootouts.

The match was also the second game without a goal after Mamelodi Sundowns’ last group game against ASFAR FC of Morocco.

Zanele Nhlapho, Bambanani Nolufefe Mbane, Nonhlanhla Mthandi, Lerato Kgasago, and Bongiwe Precious Thusi scored their spot kicks for Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies FC while Bella Rose, Eugenia Bokoka Mosua, Muriellynda Mendoua Abossolo, and Grâce Balongo Mfwamba converted Malabo Kings’ penalty kicks.

Chantelle Esau missed her penalty kick for Mamelodi Sundowns while the duo of Salome Nke and Fanta Florence missed their spot-kicks for Malabo Kings which ensured that the South African side recorded a 5-4 win on penalties to book a final date with Hasaacas Ladies FC of Ghana.

“It was a good match, once gain I congratulate my defenders for the good job done because if it was not for them then we could have conceded so many goals. Malabo was a strong side to beat and as you know in penalties there is no star.

Going to the finals we believe it will be tough but I will motivate my players to score more goals,” said Mamelodi head coach Jerry Tshabalala who followed the match from the stands after he was given marching orders booked for provoking the center referee.

 Hasaacas Ladies on their part qualified to the final after defeating Morocco's ASFAR 2-1 in another semifinal.

Hasaacas Ladies scored in the first half via Doris Boaduwaa, before ASFAR equalized through Najat Badri just before the break before Evelyn Badu scored the match winner for Hassacas Ladies to end the game 2-1.

Asfar will now meet Malabo Kings on Thursday for the third winner decider match at the 30 June Stadium in the evening.
