Nigeriaโ€™s sole representative at the inaugural CAF Womenโ€™s Champions League, Rivers Angels FC, got off her campaign with a disappointing 0-3 defeat.

The Angels were thrashed by AS FAR of Morocco on Saturday.

The game played at the El Ahly Stadium, Cairo, Egypt saw Sanaa Mssoudyโ€™s hat trick secured the maximum three points for the North Africans.

Mssoudyโ€™s 30th, 73rd and 84th minutes goals earned her a place in history as the first to score a hat trick in the maiden competition.

The defeat left the Rivers-based club at the bottom of Group B.

South Africa side, Mamelodi Sundowns, had earlier pipped Vihiga Queens of Kenya 1-0 in the first group game.

Rivers Angels will take on the South Africans in their second group match on Tuesday.
