In the opening game of the CAF Women’s Champions League, Morocco 2022 on Sunday in Rabat, Green Buffaloes made a winning debut, defeating Determine Girls with a score of 4-0.

Maweta Chilenga’s excellent strike from Ireen Lungu’s cross in the eighth minute at Stade Moulay Hassan gave the Zambians, the defending COSAFA champions, an early lead and made their presence known.

At the halfway point of the game, Natasha Nanyangwe scored the Buffalloes’ second goal, and a minute later, Hellen Chanda made it three. Both goals were assisted by Lungu.
