2026 CAF WCL: Ampem Darkoa Ladies come from behind to beat USFAS Bamako in opener

Ampem Darkoa Ladies come from behind to beat USFAS Bamako in opener. Amoh and Agyei came agonisingly close to extending the advance for Ampem Darkoa, but their efforts were just shy of the back of the net as they game ended 2-1 after 45 minutes.

WAFU B champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies enjoyed an emphatic victory in their opening game of the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League.

The Ghanaian side recorded a 5-1 victory against Mali’s USFAS Bamako to move to the top of their group.

The Malians enjoyed a great start to the game, taking the lead after just 12 minutes.

Oumou Kone broke the deadlock with a little dink over Rose Teye Baah in goal for Ampem Darkoa Ladies to give her side the game.

However, the Ghanaian champions turned on the style, scoring two quick goals to go to the break at halftime.

Angelina Yeboah drew them level from close range after connecting with Nancy Amon’s shot across the face of the goal to make it 1-1.

Moments later, Patricia Agyei put Charles Anokye Frimpong’s side in the lead with a delightful finish to make it 2-1.

Amoh and Agyei came agonisingly close to extending the advance for Ampem Darkoa, but their efforts were just shy of the back of the net as they game ended 2-1 after 45 minutes.

After the recess, Amoh had a goal disallowed after the video assistant referee spotted an offside in the buildup.

USFAS Bamako also had a goal ruled out for a handball in the buildup.

There was no denying Yeboah for her second goal of the game after a delightful through ball from Beline Nyarko.

Beline got onto the scoresheet moments later before Amoh eventually wrapped up the victory a solo strike to make it 5-1.

The victory sends Ampem Darkoa Ladies to the top of Group B and sets them up for their next game against Kawempe Muslim Girls.
