Ampem Darkoa Ladies beat Kawempe Muslim Ladies 2-1 in CAF WCL

Ghanaian champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies maintained their perfect start to the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kawempe Muslim Ladies. The win in their second Group B fixture places the Ghanaian side in a commanding position to qualify for the semifinals after securing maximum points from their first two matches. The result follows a dominant 5-1 victory over USFAS Bamako in their tournament opener.

The match began with Nancy Amoh giving Ampem Darkoa an early lead, capitalising on the team's aggressive offensive start. However, Kawempe Muslim Ladies, who entered the game with momentum following a 3-2 upset against defending champions AS FAR, managed to equalise. Despite the Ugandan side dominating possession throughout various stages of the second half, Ampem Darkoa remained resilient and disciplined in their defensive organisation.

The decisive moment arrived late in the contest when Beline Nyarko scored the winning goal to seal the three points. Nyarko’s late strike ensured that the tactical plans of head coach Charles Anokye Frimpong were successful. Frimpong had previously noted that developing specific strategies to contain Kawempe's threat would be essential to enhancing the team's chances of progressing in the continental competition.

With six points from two games, Ampem Darkoa Ladies have moved a step closer to the knockout stages. The team now turns its attention to their final group fixture as they aim to maintain their winning streak and secure a top spot in Group B. The 2026 campaign represents a significant opportunity for the Ghanaian champions to establish themselves as a dominant force in African women's football.
