FCF Mazembe had a memorable match in Casablanca by winning an incredible victory (3-1) against the Edo Queens of Nigeria in the semi-final of the fourth edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League played this Tuesday, November 19 , thus qualifying for the final of this competition.
Analyzing this shock, Ravens coach Lamia Boumedhi could not hide his admiration for his players and his joy for all the members of the club. She also highlighted the mental strength of her team, who showed perseverance until the end.
“I am very happy and satisfied with this final result. And I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my players who had a great match. They dipped in mazembe and played with the grinta. Our secret for this match was the mind. Before this match, I told my players to stay focused until the referee’s final whistle, even if we conceded a goal. Because we knew that we were facing a good team and we should stay focused until the end of the match,” commented the FCF Mazembe coach in a post-match press conference.
