Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies’ team’s mission to defend the Women’s CAF Champions League has failed after the South African champions were knocked out of the group stages.

The outgoing champions bowed out after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Nigerian outfit Edo Queens in a Group B in Casablanca, Morocco last night.

Melinda Kgadiete scored for Sundowns in the first half, while Emem Essien and Mary Mamudu scored for the Nigerians in the referee’s added time.

Banyana Ba Style’s #CAFWCL journey comes to an end.

With Sundowns sent packing, it meant that’s the end of South Africa’s hope to win the competition as the other local side, the University of the Western Cape couldn’t make it out of Group A.
