Despite dominating their group opener, Bayelsa Queens lost 2-1 to the defending champions.
Nigeria’s flag bearers in the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco, Bayelsa Queens, got off to a losing start on Monday against the Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies team.
Even though Bayelsa Queens pulled one back through Mary-Magdalene Anjor in the 80th minute, it was scant consolation after having more possession and shots on target. It was the Nigerian Ladies that dominated the game in the first half, but it was Sundowns that scored through Dawetti with their first shot on target and the South Africans held on to the slim lead going into the half-time break.
Hard as they tried, the Nigeria champions could not get the equaliser they sought and will now have to shift focus to Thursday’s second group game against TP Mazembe.
