CAF WCL Can Fazila Ikwaput, Situma dethrone the Ethiopian queen of goals?
Kampala Queens striker Fazila Ikwaput leads the top scorers' chart at the CAF Women's Champions League CECAFA qualifier with eight goals.
The committee chose Tanzanian striker Abdallah Situmai as the best player of the tournament despite scoring only one goal.
The striker’s activity in the final was minimal as her teammate Najiat Abass Idrisa did all the donkey work to stop Ethiopia’s Loza Abera and Tadesse Aregash’s rampant assault that often ended in one-on-one situations.
To many, besides their goals and assists, Abera and Aregash were the most consistent and entertaining players throughout the tournament despite succumbing to Idrissa’s heroics.
