Vihiga Queens FC first choice goalkeeper, Lilian Awuor Onyango has said she is more motivated after being named Woman of the Match in the team’s opening match at the on-going TotalEnergies CAF Champions League.
The Kenyan side put up a spirited fight but lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies (South Africa) in a Group B match played last Saturday at the Al Salaam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt.
Onyango put up a good performance when she stopped several shots at goal including one on one situations. “It is very encouraging to win an Award in such a tournament and this is very motivating,” added Onyango.
Speaking about the defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies, the goalkeeper made it clear that it was not their day and they will return determined to perform better in the other matches.
“Yes we lost but lack was not on our sides. The coming matches we are determined to grab six points and qualify for the semi final,” said Onyango.
Vihiga Queens FC will face Group B table leaders ASFAR FC in their second match of the tournament on November 9th. The Moroccan side humbled Rivers Angels FC (Nigeria) 3-0 in their opening match last Saturday.
