Kawempe set up Sundowns semi-final as AS FAR knock out Ampem Darkoa

Kawempe Muslim Ladies booked a CAF Women’s Champions League semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns after Agnes Nabukenya scored twice in a 3–0 win over USFAS Bamako in Egypt on Sunday, 8 November.

The Ugandan side finished second in Group B behind defending champions AS FAR, who beat Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa 2–0 in the other final-round match. The results ended Ampem Darkoa’s campaign and gave Kawempe a place in the last four against the two-time African champions.

Nabukenya put Kawempe ahead in the 23rd minute before Jovia Nakagolo doubled the lead six minutes before half-time. Nabukenya struck again in the 71st minute to wrap up the win over the Malian side.

Ampem Darkoa held AS FAR until the 59th minute, when captain Ghizlane Chebbak broke the deadlock. The Moroccan side secured first place in the group when Youssoufi added a second six minutes into stoppage time.

AS FAR will face Lekié Football Filles on Wednesday, 11 November. The Cameroonian side reached the semi-finals in their first appearance at the final tournament, beating hosts FC Masar 2–1 on Saturday to take second place in Group A on the head-to-head result.

Kawempe face a Sundowns side that went unbeaten in Group A. The South Africans opened with a goalless draw against FC Masar, beat Lekié 2–1 and sealed first place with a 3–0 victory over FUS Rabat.

Both semi-finals are scheduled for Wednesday in Ismailia. AS FAR and Lekié are due to kick off at 14:00 SAST, with Sundowns and Kawempe following at 17:00 SAST. The final is scheduled for Sunday, 15 November.
