The first games in Group B were played at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt Saturday at the ongoing Caf Women’s Champions League.
In the afternoon game, South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies edged Kenya’s Vihiga Queens 1-0.
Melinda Kgadiete scored just two minutes into the game with a chip over the goalkeeper for the only goal of the game.
Meanwhile, The Association’s Sports of Forces Armed Royal (ASFAR) of Morocco thumped Nigeria’s Rivers Angels 3-0 to go top of Group B after the first matches played.
Sanaa Mssoudy bagged a hat-trick to inspire the Moroccans to a commanding victory in the first-ever African Women’s Champions League.
Mssoudy scored a stunning solo goal in the 31st minute after sitting down the entire backline of the Nigerian giants.
The forward scored again in 74th and 84th minutes to complete a historic hat-trick.
ASFAR will play Vihiga Queens while Mamelodi Sundowns and Rivers Angels face off in the second Group B matches on Tuesday, November 9.
Sanaa Mssoudy, who adjudged woman of the match, said: “I’m very happy to be the first player to score a hat-trick in WCL, I dedicate it to my father who passed away.
“My favorite goal of the hat-trick was the second one because I showed my capabilities and skills in it. It’s all due to my team’s efforts.”
