CAF WCL Burundians strike to leave Kampala Queens on the edge
Kampala Queens, Commerical Bank of Ethiopia and Buja Queens are all tied on three points in Group A.
The coach also revealed that their effort to scout Kampala Queens against Yei Joints Stars paid off.
On the day, the Burundians froze out Fazila Ikwaput for a better time of the day, cutting out her supply and outmuscling the striker who scored a hattrick on the opening day.
“So,” the coach added, “we rested, then went back and watched how Kampala played and devised a strategy that eventually paid off. We also received a boost from several key players who arrived late to play a part in the opening game.”
Among the players who boosted the team include the Kenyan duo of Corazone Vivian Aquino and bulky defender Ruth Ingosi, captain Aisha Djafari and Esperance Habonimana.
The win took Buja Queens level on three points with the Ugandans, who have a better goal difference as Commercial Bank of Ethiopia move top with six.
