Despite the fatigue during yesterday’s qualification, the ASCVD players were pumped up to put out a big match against the favorite of this competition. But once again, Al Ahly was carried by the talent of Ndioma Kane who made the supporters hysterical at the Marius Ndiaye Stadium.
Decisive pouye
Moustapha Gaye announced it at a press conference yesterday, his players were going to give everything on the pitch to qualify for the final. Couna Ndao’s teammates followed this instruction to the letter. Fatou Pouye scored the first basket of the match, a winning shot. She who launched the hostilities was also decisive 3 minutes from the end to allow her team to overthrow Al Ahly (12-11). ASCVD did well from the start, winning the first quarter (18-11).
Dabou disgusts Egyptian women
Untenable in this competition, Kamite Elisabeth Dabou once again achieved a great performance. She scored 9 important points during this round and had 13 points at halftime. This is the most difficult quarter for ASCVD with the duo Madjiguene and Ndioma who total 14 points during this quarter. At the break, the Dakar club is in front but with a single point difference (32-31).
Cissoko sets fire to the floor
Foune Sissoko is a great trigger! She made the Egyptian defense bite the dust more than once with her winning shots, particularly in the 3rd quarter. Launched by captain Couna Ndao at the start of the round (+3), it will be the most prolific quarter for ASCVD which achieves +11 and still remains in front (51-40).
Didi Kane spoils the party again
It is the well-known weapon of the “Egyptians” and if the ASCVD managed to muzzle it throughout the game (0 points on the clock throughout the 3rd quarter), Ndioma Kane knows it well. is untenable. She will be the instigator of Al Ahly’s comeback at the end of the match.
His 6 points in addition to Madjiguene’s two free throws will allow Al Ahly to make it 10-4 after 4 minutes played. The ASCVD will take a timeout to stop this comeback (50-55). Didi Kane will again stop Foune’s shot in addition to a decisive steal and pass to allow his team to come back to 3 points apart. Moreover, thanks to her basket 2 minutes from the end, she brought her team dangerously closer (56-57). And even worse a 3 point which will give the lead to Al Ahly (59-58). There are only 1’47 left to play.
Money time will be extremely difficult to manage for the players, supporters and referees. Al Ahly takes two wins to drive home the point (63-61) Dabou’s last winning shot will do nothing, nor will the projectile throws at the end of the match do anything. Unless it stops the match for a long time. Invincible, Al Ahly will play well in the final by beating a fine representative from Senegal.
The ASCVD thus misses qualification for the final. The other finalist will be known after the second match between Feroviario Maputo and APR of Rwanda.
