Led by head coach Joseph Ndoko, the Cameroonian girls displayed discipline and determination against a tenacious Kenyan team. The match was highly competitive, with both teams showing a strong will to win, but the visitors managed to go ahead of the host thanks to a decisive goal from rising star Tiwa Lys. Tiwa, who has been one of the standout players in the Guinness Super League this season, once again proved her worth by scoring the only goal of the match. Her effort secured all three points for Cameroon and boosted the team’s chances of advancing to the next stage of the qualifiers.
With this win, Cameroon returns home with a slight advantage and positive morale ahead of the return leg, which is scheduled for Friday, April 25, at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde. The team will be hoping to seal their ticket to the global tournament in front of their home crowd.
