Edo Queens staged a dramatic comeback to defeat defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in their final group match of the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League, securing a spot in the semi-finals of Africa’s premier club competition.

The Nigerian champions topped Group B with seven points from three games, overcoming a first-half setback to claim victory.

Melinda Kgadiete gave Sundowns the lead in the 28th minute, while Chioma Olise missed a penalty for Edo Queens in the 54th minute, leaving the South Africans in control.
