Ampem Darkoa Ladies Secure Dominant 5-1 Victory in CAF Women’s Champions League Opener

Ampem Darkoa Ladies made a powerful statement in their 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League opener, securing a convincing 5-1 victory over Mali’s USFAS Bamako at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia. The Ghanaian side, known as the Nanamma, demonstrated resilience and tactical superiority to claim the top spot in Group B.

The match began with an early challenge for the Ghanaian champions, as USFAS Bamako took the lead in the 11th minute through a goal by Oumou Koné. However, Ampem Darkoa quickly regained their composure and leveled the score in the 28th minute thanks to a strike from Angelina Yeboah, who converted a precise pass from Nancy Amoh.

Building on their momentum, the Ghanaian side surged ahead just three minutes later when Patricia Agyei found the back of the net. Despite facing pressure from the Malian defense and having a goal disallowed for offside, Ampem Darkoa maintained their attacking intensity throughout the second half.

Angelina Yeboah solidified her impact on the game by completing her brace in the 79th minute, effectively putting the match out of reach for their opponents. The scoring spree continued as Beline Nyarkoh added a fourth goal in the 83rd minute, followed by a final strike from Nancy Amoh during stoppage time to seal the 5-1 rout.

This emphatic win provides Ampem Darkoa with three crucial points and significant momentum as they look toward their next group stage fixture against Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies. A victory in that upcoming match would place the team in a strong position to secure a spot in the tournament's knockout phase.
