Vihiga Queens of Kenya bounced back from their opening group game defeat with a 2-0 win over ASFAR FC of Morocco at the maiden TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League on Tuesday.

The CECAFA Champions opened the scoring in the 8th minute through Violet Wanyonyi who fired home the rebounds as ASFAR protested offside.

ASFAR offside call that led to Vihiga’s first goal.

Six minutes into the second half, Hanane’s clearance came off Jentrix Shikangwa’s shin to beat Errmichi who was off her post and landed into the top corner of the post to double Vihiga Queens’ lead.
