Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies’ title defence went back on
track on Wednesday afternoon after the reigning champions secured a commanding
4-0 win over Central Bank of Ethiopia.
Following their shock 1-0 loss to Egyptian debutants,
FC Masar on Saturday, the South Africans re-grouped to put up a strong
performance against the Ethiopians who were no match for the class of
Masandawana.
Sundowns’ strong signal of intent was evident in the
opening half with all four of their goals coming in the first stanza courtesy
of a Melinda Kgadiete brace, as well as a goal a piece by Joyce Rabale and the
speedy Lelona Daweti.
The early goals rubber-stamped what was a one-sided
affair in the match, with Sundowns dominating and enjoying a lion’s share of
the possession, with very little threat from the Ethiopian side.
With this being their second consecutive loss
following their crushing 3-0 defeat to TP Edo Queens, the loss to Sundowns
spells the end of CBE’s debut in the CAF Women’s Champions League.
For the reigning champions on the other side, they
receive a much-needed lifeline ahead of the crucial decider on Saturday where
they will face Edo Queens to determine whether they continue with their title
defence in Morocco.
