The match against the Eagles of Medina of Senegal was a true festival of football. Despite a hard-fought but goalless first half, the TP Mazembe players remained focused and determined. It was in the second half that the magic happened. Marta Lacho opened the scoring with an opportunistic strike, closely followed by Priscillia Kreto who doubled the lead with a header. These two goals gave the advantage to the Corbeaux Lushois and put the Aigles de la Médina under pressure.
TP Mazembe’s dominance was confirmed with a double from Kreto and a goal from Merveille Kanjinga. These exceptional performances not only ensured the team’s victory, but also demonstrated their talent and determination. The club from the copper capital thus made history in Congolese football by becoming the first team from the DRC to reach the semi-finals of this prestigious competition.
This remarkable success is the result of constant progress and hard work on the part of the players and staff of TP Mazembe. By reaching this stage of the competition, the team confirms its status as the best team in the sub-region and its ambition to shine on the continental stage. The next step will be a clash against the formidable Mamelodie Sundowns Ladies, double winners of the event, which promises to be a real challenge for the Congolese women.
