Chombo’s post-match reaction
“I’m thrilled with the girls’ performance; they are showing that they are really hungry to win the championship. It wasn’t an easy match but we dominated possession, created scoring opportunities at will, and showcased our prowess in front of goal. But still, there is a lot we need to work on, the girls missed a lot of chances, we will go back to training and work on that.”
