CAFWCL: Edo Queens Lose 3-1 To TP Mazembe In Semi-finals

Edo Queens suffered a 3-1 defeat to DR Congo’s TP Mazembe in the first semi-finals of the CAF Women’s Champions League on Tuesday.

It was a game Edo Queens would be kicking themselves after failing to hold on to their 1-0 lead as TP Mazembe scored in the 90th minute to send the game into extra-time.

The Congolese then went on to score two more goals in extra-time to advance to the final.

After a goalless first half Peace Essien broke the deadlock in the 65th minute to give Edo Queens the lead.

Unfortunately the Nigerian champions could not hold on as TP Mazembe equalised thanks to Merveille Kanjinga.

An own goal by Comfort Folorunsho in the 101st minute in extra-time put TP Mazembe 2-1 ahead.

Then Marlene Kasaj added the third goal from the penalty spot in three minutes of added time in the first half of extra-time.

Edo Queens will now take on either AS FAR of Morocco or Egypt’s FC Masar in the third-placed play-off on November 22.

Edo Queens scored two goals in stoppage time against champions Mamelodi Sundowns to win 2-1 in their final Group B game.
