Freeport, Bahamas - The Grand Bahama Women’s Champion’s League kicked off at 2:30 on April 9th with Chelsea’s coach Mike Dossantos declaring that the league
would not be tied after his team played the top dogs from last year
Borussia Dortmund. The game was entertaining and balanced in play. Both
teams had multiple chances without putting the ball in the back of the
net. Midway through the second half of the game, Coach Mike put in
Phoebe Wilson, a young rookie, and she broke down the compact defense
of Borussia Dortmund by staying wide on the wing and varying up the type
of balls she put in to her players. This strategy was successful as
Chelsea’s Hanna Joy Simms scored in the 73rd minute and the last minute
of the game. Final result Chelsea 2-0.
The second game was a nail
biter as well. In the 24th minute, Barcelona’s goalkeeper tried to make
an unsuccessful diving save and experienced back spasms and had to be
taken out of the game. Goal l scorer Ruby Brown and her team mates did
not get to enjoy the lead for long, as the Real Madrid’s coach’s
daughter, Janeka Edey, answered back for Barcelona in the 31st minute
with a half volley, undoubtedly the best goal of the season. The goal
inspired Barcelona and their defense was incredible and despite not
having their starting goalkeeper, the replacement goalkeeper, Kameisha
Brown and her team shut down the Real Madrid squad for a 1-1 tie.
