Yusif Basigi aiming to win next year’s CAF Women’s Champions League with Hasaacas Ladies after Sundowns defeat

Hasaacas Ladies head coach, Yusif Basigi is aiming to win next year’s CAF Women’s Champions League having lost the final to Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Ghanaian club who had been impressive in the just-ended tournament lost the final to the South African side on Friday night at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.

Morifi started the scoring with an assist from Mgcoyi at the 33rd minute, then Mgcoyi herself added another goal at the 65th minute to end it 2-0.

After the game, Basigi said they went into the game with the intention of winning the maiden edition of the tournament but did not work out as expected.

According to him, the team will prepare for next year’s edition and remain confident of winning the trophy.

“It’s unfortunate that we did not win. We came in with the intention of winning, but it was almost impossible. We will be ready to win the next edition of WCL,” he said after the defeat.

“My centre backs had to cover more for the halfbacks. I never taught my players to set offside traps, so the second goal did not happen because of that.

“The next edition will surely be tougher, we came here and saw it all. Everyone will go back and get stronger for the next time”.

“It’s historic for us to be in the final because others came and go, but we stayed,” he added.
