CAF women’s player of the year runner-up Njoya Nchout Ajara was in on the act twice, as her Valerenga side put 7 past KI in the first qualifying round of the women’s Champions league.

The outcome of Wednesday’s game did not flatter the home side, neither was it harsh on the visitors.

Ki started to capitulate after just 23 minutes, when Synne Jensen converted from the spot to gift the home side a well deserved one – nil lead.

The floodgates then opened as Nchout doubled tally for Valerenga after just two minutes. Thomsen scored the last of Valerenga’s first half goals, before the halftime interval.

A rather bedraggled KI side couldn’t change their fortunes in the second half.

Nchout Ajara took her season’s tally to a dozen (12), completing her double at the 70th minute after the pose.

25-year-old Andrine Tomter scored at the 79 minute, before Catherine Joan Bott made the score even more humiliating for the visitors.

KI in search of a consolation to make the score honourable, left spaces in – behind which was capitalised upon by Rikke Bogetveit Nygard for 7 – 0 Valerenga.

Up next in the champions League for Ajara and co next week, are Stabaek. Valerenga visits Lyn in their next Toppserien fixture on Saturday.

Italian manager Maurizio Sarri has been relieved of his duty as the head of the technical bench of Juventus following the club’s early elimination from the UEFA Champions league. This is according to the club.

The Old Ladies were knocked out by Olympic Lyonnais at the round of 16 despite a 2-1 win on Friday August 7, 2020 that appeared insufficient for the night as the visitors sailed through on away goal formalities following a 1 nil victory in February.

Sarri’s dismissal hasn’t come as a surprise to many. With the simple reason. The match outcome against Lyon came as a huge sign of failure for the club whose main target this season was winning the Champions League, a fit they are still to achieve since 1996 when they last grabbed silver ware in the competition. Reasons amongst other that saw the club bringing in 5 times Balloon D’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo to help facilitate the task.

Maurizio Sarri therefore served as the main victim and sacrifice despite helping the club win its 9^th consecutive Series A title a few weeks ago.

Sarri who has also managed Chelsea and Napoli had earlier explained his difficulty of having the players adapt to his system which he considers to be “Slow” especially after losing to Lyon in France.

The club have recorded series of unconvincing scores after the Coronavirus restart. They have gathered 7 wins in their last 15 matches. Managing to win the league with a point above runners-up, Inter Milan

A few names have come up as potential replacement. Amongst them, former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino who is still to join a club since his dismissal by the Spurs in 2019 and Zinedine Zidane.
