However, they faced a formidable Sundowns side whose experience at this level once again proved decisive.<\/p>\n<p>The South Africans broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute through Refilwe Tholaleke, giving Sundowns a 1-0 advantage heading into the interval. L\u00e9ki\u00e9 were subsequently forced to chase the game against opponents who have established themselves among the continent\u2019s leading forces in women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n<p>The decisive moment arrived in the 84th minute when Ivana Makana\u2019s own goal doubled Sundowns\u2019 advantage. L\u00e9ki\u00e9 refused to surrender, though, and Tim Shalom pulled one back in the same minute to give the Cameroonian side renewed hope. Despite their late response, L\u00e9ki\u00e9 could not find an equaliser before the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-1 defeat represents another difficult examination for St\u00e9phane Ndzana\u2019s side in their maiden CAF Women\u2019s Champions League campaign. While the result is disappointing, L\u00e9ki\u00e9 demonstrated fighting spirit by continuing to compete until the closing stages against one of Africa\u2019s most experienced women\u2019s clubs. Their attention will now turn to their final Group A assignment against Egyptian side FC Masar, where they will be hoping to finish their historic continental adventure on a positive note.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Angu Lesley Football Writer,kick442.com-Cameroon Cameroonian champions L\u00e9ki\u00e9 Football Filles suffered a narrow 2-1&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":30257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[141,218,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-caf-champions-league","category-cameroon-football","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
