WAFU B WCLQ: Ampem Darkoa Ladies seek replay of final after game went into penalties instead of extra time
Ampem Darko are seeking a replay of their final game against Nigeria’s Edo Queens after the match went straight to penalty shootout instead of extra time following a draw after 90 minutes.
Ampem Darkoa Ladies, the reigning champions of the Ghana Women’s Premier League, have lodged a protest with WAFU B and CAF regarding their Women’s Champions League qualification final loss to Edo Queens. The Ghanaian side claims their game against Nigeria’s Edo Queens should have been decided in extra time rather than immediately progressing to a penalty shootout following a 2-2 draw.
Despite the teams playing a full 90 minutes that ended in a tie, the match was halted and transitioned straight to the penalty shootout. In the shootout, the Ghanaian team suffered a devastating 4-1 defeat, ultimately leading to Edo Queens claiming victory and securing a spot in the CAF Women’s Champions League.
The club alleges that they had prepared substitutes for the subsequent stages of the competition but were instead given instructions that prevented these substitutions from taking place. This account is detailed in a statement released by the club on Friday, September.
