'The girls have faith in me and so do I' - Hasaacas Ladies coach Basigi after final berth

Published on: 15 November 2021

Coach Yussif Basigi is a happy man after guiding Hasaacas Ladies to the final of the first-ever CAF Women's Champions League. 

The Ghanaians defeated Morocco's ASFAR 2-1 at Al Salam Stadium on Monday to become the first side to reach the final.

Hasaacas Ladies started scoring in the first half via Doris Boaduwaa, before ASFAR scored the equalizer through Najat Badri at the last minute before the break.

In the second half, Hasaacas missed a penalty when Perpetual Agyekum effort rebounded from the post after 66 minutes.

The tournament's top scorer Evelyn Badu scored the second and winning goal for Hassacas Ladies to end the game 2-1 despite ASFAR’s trials to equalize again.

“I said last time that the game was not going to be easy. The tempo of the teams qualifying for this is very high. Yes, we missed the penalty, but having the penalty in the first place meant we were attacking and going to win," Basigi said after the game.

“There were tactical variations in the second half. We are going to train the girls on finishing as this is a key element for us”.

He added, "The girls have faith in me and so do I. They listen to me carefully, that’s why our second half is more powerful most of the time”.

Hasaacas will face either Mamelodi Sundowns or Malabo Kings in Friday's final.
