<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Ladies from the ancient City of Benin City, gave good account of themselves in the group stage on Saturday in Abidjan by scoring a total of 10 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They started their champaign in faraway Abidjan, Cote D\u2019Ivoire with a 5-0 bashing of AS Garde National of Niger Republic before hitting Hasaacas Ladies from the former Gold Coast \u2013 Ghana 3-0 in their second group game. The Ladies from the Land of the Upright man, Omnisports Etincelle couldn’t hold the Godwin Obaseki Queens as they left the field unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Ghanaian champions, Hasaacas Ladies, failed in their attempt to secure qualification for the 2024 CAF Women\u2019s Champions League despite winning their group game. Hasaacas thrashed Niger\u2019s AS Garde National 6-1 in their final Group B game on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the result still leaves them short of a place in the semifinals with second-placed Omnisports Etincelle boasting a superior goal difference after both teams finished on four points each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatoumata Tamboura opened the scoring for the Hasaacas Ladies after over 20 minutes played before Grace Animah and Comfort Owusu scored in quick succession to make it 3-0. As Garde pulled a goal back before the first half came to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the return from recess, Comfort Owusu scored once again to restore Hasaacas\u2019 three-goal advantage in the game. The Ghanaian side had several opportunities to add to their lead but failed to convert their chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In additional time, Animah and Abigail Sakyiwaa found the back of the net to make it 6-1 but could barely change the fortunes of the team as the game ended 6-1.
Hasaacas will now turn their attention to domestic competition after failing to secure a return to the Champions League stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Group A, Inter D\u2019Abidjan booked their place in the semi-finals of the WAFU Zone B CAF Women\u2019s Champions League qualifiers after a remarkable 4-3 comeback victory against Togo\u2019s AS Kozah in their final group match in Bouak\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ivorian side found themselves trailing by three goals at halftime, with AS Kozah dominating the first half through goals from Solim Kadanga, Tatiana Kayaba, and Kpandjapou Gbati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Inter D\u2019Abidjan emerged from the break with renewed determination, launching a spirited comeback led by Esperance Cousso Agbo, who netted a stunning hat-trick.Melissa Sandrine Behinan added a fourth goal, sealing the comeback and ensuring their progression to the next stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the defeat, AS Kozah\u2019s Ijeoma Anagha was named Player of the Match, recognizing her influential role in the first-half performance. With this victory, Inter D\u2019Abidjan finished the group stage with three points, securing second place behind Benin\u2019s Ainonvi FC, who topped Group A with six points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iner D\u2019Abidjan will now face the \u2018Almighty\u2019 Nigeria\u2019s Edo Queens FC, the Group B leaders, in a highly anticipated semi-final clash on Tuesday, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the main CAF Women\u2019s Champions League tournament later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
