Bayelsa Queens Midfielder Mary Aderemi says they have to cross the last two hurdles if they must emerge champions of the CAF Women Champions League WAFU Zone B Tourney and pick a qualification ticket, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian Women Football League (NWFL) Queens need to beat Benin Republic champions Espoir Ladies in the semi-final.

The Stade de Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast host the important tie at 7:30 pm Nigerian time on Wednesday.

Speaking ahead of the game, "It's not yet over, we still have to win two more games to become champions. That's the only thing we want to achieve now," Aderemi said.

On getting this far, Bayelsa Queens top their group after recording 77 points from three matches.

They got a well-deserved 3-1 win over Uthe S Des Forces Armees Ladies (USFA) of Burkina Faso in their final group game after sharing the spoils with Apem Darkoa Ladies of Ghana.

Coach Domo Okara made an impressive start to the tournament, with leading top scorer Etim Edidiong scoring four goals in the 5-0 pummeling of Athleta Ladies FC Of Togo.
