  "account": "On Thursday, Banaat FC (UAE) delivered a dominant performance in their AFC Women’s Champions League 2026/27 Preliminary Stage match against Master FC (Laos), securing a convincing 9-0 victory at the Markaziy Stadium in Qarshi, Uzbekistan. After a balanced opening, Banaat scored their first goal in the 22nd minute when Sabrine Mamay expertly converted a cross from the back post, which Seesavath Seesouvanh failed to punch away. Despite a potential response five minutes later, Aimee Kahapana's shot was easily blocked by Maha Alblooshi. In the 31st minute, Mamay extended Banaat's lead with a well-taken header from Fatima Alhosani's cross. The UAE team continued their attacking prowess as captain Salha Rashid headed home a corner in the 33rd minute. A further two goals followed seven minutes into the second half, with Mamay backheeling the ball to Elizabeth Forshaw to score and Mamay volleying a corner into the top corner. Mamay then added her fifth goal of the match in the 73rd minute, following a missed clearance by Master's defense. Banaat sealed their impressive performance with two more goals in stoppage time, scored by Shujoun Alshehh and Fatima Alhosani, before Aimee Kahapana and Sabrine Mamay added further goals. The UAE side will face Uzbekistan's PFC Nasaf on Sunday to determine the winner of Group C and advance to the group stage.",
