CECAFAWCLQ: Commercial Bank of Ethiopia bludgeon New Generation 10-1

A domineering and emphatic display at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani saw Ethiopian side Commercial Bank of Ethiopia demolish Zanzibari side New Generation 10-1 in the second group B match of the CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA qualifier played on Wednesday afternoon.CBE’s sublime performance proved to be no match for New Generation as the Ethiopian side had two players in Loza Genoire and Medina Busser score four goals and three goals respectively in the one sided contestComing into the match, CBE were looking to maintain their position at the top of the log and their start to the match suggested every intent to do so.CBE started laying in roads as early as the centre referee blew her whistle that signaled the start of the match, the white stripped players pinging around the ball as they limited New Generation to mere onlookers in the early proceedings.Just seven minutes in, after a dominating display, captain Loza Genoire set through on goal Medina Busser with a defense splitting pass that left the striker with only the goalkeeper to beat. One on one with the New Generation custodian, the diminutive striker kept her cool as she expertly lobbed the ball past the goalkeeper to give her side the lead and extend her goal tally to four goals having wreaked havoc by bagging a hat trick against Kenya’s Vihiga Queens in their opening match.Nothing seemed to be working for the Zanzibari side as Genoire this time almost found the back of the net on her own after neat footwork that shrugged off her pursuer. This time though, Zuena Yasin stood firm in goal as she palmed the effort onto the crossbar before gathering to save her side from going two down.Another brilliant save from Zuena ensured the score-line still stood at one as she kept out Genoire – who was now proving to be a handful – yet again with a smart diving save to her right that was cleared out of danger.Out of nowhere, and against the run of play, Husna Mpanja ensured that CBE rued their missed chances as she found the back of the net with a brilliantly finessed strike into the bottom left corner in the 15th minute in what was first attacking foray in CBE’s box.That goal momentarily got wind in their sails as they tried to weather CBE’s early storm. However, after losing a bit of steam, the Ethiopian side quickly reasserted their dominance as an ever lively Genoire bagged a two minute brace to firmly give her side a commanding 3-1 lead ten minutes to the first half break.##EDITORS_CHOICE##A relentless CBE kept pushing even more and just one minute before the interval, Aregash Kalsa Tadesse scored a direct free kick for her side’s fourth goal of the game and a healthy three goal advantage by the break.There was no stopping the steam rolling press of CBE as they picked off from where they left it at. Just four minutes upon resumption, Generation’s Happy Mroni brought down Genoire in the box after the striker beat her for pace, leaving the referee with no option but to point to the penalty spot. The captain got up and converted as she bagged her hat trick in the match.Ten minutes later Genoire grabbed her quadruple after dispatching a perfectly weighted ball behind Generation’s defense line with a composed thumping finish for her side’s sixth goal in what had fast turned to a rout.With fifteen minutes left on the clock, centre back Hasabe Gila found herself at the right place in the box from a corner as she tapped home a Genoire cut back pass into the area to take CBE’s goal tally to seven.Still, there was time for Busser to add two more in the last ten minutes as she bagged her second hat trick in as many matches.
