Béninoise team Sam Nelly held Burkina Faso’s USFA to a goalless draw (0-0) on Tuesday in Benin City, during the CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers in the WAFU B zone.
In their first participation in the qualifying phase of the CAF Women’s Champions League, Sam Nelly’s team faced USFA in Benin City, Nigeria, this Tuesday. It was a crucial match for both teams, seeking victory. The Burkinabé team had suffered a heavy defeat against the Delta Queens (0-3). As for the Beninese side, avoiding a loss was essential.
After a fairly balanced match, the two teams ended the game with a goalless 0-0 score. Despite being more proactive, the reigning champions of Benin could have made the difference, but the girls under coach Frédéric Hounkponou lacked precision in their finishing.
With this 0-0 draw, both USFA and Sam Nelly’s team will have to wait for the final day of the group stage to determine the qualifying team. The Beninese team will face Nigeria’s Delta Queens, who are already assured of a spot in the semi-finals. It’s a daunting task for the Benin team, who must secure at least a draw, if not a victory, to secure their ticket for the next round.
