Bayelsa Queens FC staged a determined fightback to seal a 2-1 victory over USFA of Burkina Faso in the semi-finals of the WAFU Zone B CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers on Tuesday night.
USFA struck early through Comfort Yeboah in the second minute, but Emem Essien equalised for the Nigerian champions just 13 minutes later. Janet Akekoromowei, who was later named Player of the Match, fired home the decisive goal in the 62nd minute to complete the turnaround.
The result sends Bayelsa Queens into Friday’s final against hosts ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast, with the winner earning the zone’s sole ticket to this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League.
