Bayelsa Queens defied the odds following a slow start to the ongoing CAF Women’s Champions League tournament in Morocco after being stunned in thier debut game loosing 2-1 against Mamelodi Sundowns which very much looked like the end of the road for them but they made an incredible bounce back and they are closer to the finals than ever having turned the tides in thier favor. Now, can they go on to the very end of the richest women competition in Africa? It remains unknown.
Giving it another shot, the Yenagoa based outfit bounced back from the opening defeat to Trounce Congolese team, TP Mazembe in a 3-0 scoreline, a win that brought relief if they were to go further in the competition.
