Edo Queens, FC Masar Share Spoils to Set up Group B Photo Finish

Nigeria’s representatives in the CAF Women’s Champions League, Edo Queens FC failed to convert their dominance as they laboured in vain against FC Masar of Egypt to a pulsating goalless outing on Match-day 2 yesterday evening in Casablanca, Morocco.

A win for either side could have seen them put one foot into the semi-finals of the competition.

Both Queens and Masar are making their first appearance at the finals.

High in confidence following their impressive 1-0 win over defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, FC Masar were hoping to carry on their momentum.

Equally so, Edo Queens who cruised past Central Bank of Ethiopia FC by 3-0 were also hoping to build on that impressive performance.

Despite the numerous chances created, neither of the two debutants could break the deadlock, with both goalkeepers and defenders being on high alert throughout the tense encounter.

The result sees Edo Queens maintain their lead at the top of Group B on same four points as Masar but ahead on goals difference.

The goalless draw has set up a photo finish in Group B, with Queens having to face a resurgent Mamelodi Sundowns who won 4-0 against CBE earlier yesterday while Masar face the already knocked-out Ethiopian side.

Both matches take place on Saturday at 19h00 Local Time.
