Congolese Feminine Ligue 1 champions TP Mazembe rallied to a 2-0 victory over Zambian side Zesco United Girls in an international friendly played at the TP Mazembe Stadium on Wednesday.
Goals from Esther Dikisha and Merveille Kanjinga fired the Mazembe lassies past the Zambians in the encounter that was used by coach Moroccan coach Lamia Boumehdi as a preparatory match for the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers.
Wednesday’s encounter was the second meeting between Mazembe and Zesco with the latter having also won the first match, another friendly, by a similar scoreline in Ndola back in September.
The two sides are expected to take to the field again on Friday in another friendly to be played at the same venue.
Mazembe are in the next few weeks set to learn their opponents in the UNIFFAC Qualifiers for CAF Women’s Champions League that will take place in Ivory Coast later this year.
