DR Congo’s TP Mazembe will be meeting FAR Rabat of Morocco in this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League finals.
Mazembe had to come from a goal down to record a 3-1 win over Edo Queens at Stade Larbi Zaouli earlier on Tuesday. After a goalless first half, Queens took the lead in the 64th minute as Emmem Essien and the Nigeria side were headed for a famous win until Mervielle Kajinga levelled matters six minutes from time for Mazembe to send the game into extra time.

In another semifinal, FAR Rabat continued their 100%-win record in this year’s edition of the showpiece with a 2-1 victory against Masar at Stade El Abdi.
Safa Banouk put Rabat ahead in the 12th minute, which was cancelled by a 97th-minute equalizer from Maya Abouelwafa Abdelrazek from the penalty spot. Rabat broke Masar’s hearts as Doha El Madani scored the winning goal two minutes later.
