Aqaba: Jordanian champions Shabab Al Ordon have one hand on the WAFF Women’s Clubs Championship Jordan 2019 trophy after claiming a crucial 3-0 over Lebanon’s SAS on Monday.
The tournament hosts outplayed their previously unbeaten opponents despite a red card to forward Mai Sweilem, meaning they require only a draw or better against bottom-placed Arab Orthodox Club on Wednesday to reach an insurmountable total of 10 points from four matches.
Bahrain’s Riffa Sports Club also tasted success on Monday, scoring a dominant 9-0 win over Arab Orthodox in the earlier match.

Charlotte: Korea Republic’s tour of the United States began with a defeat against the world champions, who extended their winning streak to 18 matches with a 2-0 victory in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday.

Bridgeview: Australian striker Sam Kerr made her latest entry to the record books, breaking her own record to set a new individual season scoring mark in the US-based National Women’s Soccer League on Saturday.
The Matildas goal machine and 2017 AFC Women’s Player of the Year found the back of the net twice in Chicago Red Stars’ 3-1 win over Washington Spirit, taking her season tally to 18; one more than the previous record she set in 2017.
Kerr’s 18 goals have come in just 20 appearances, and despite her missing a month of league football due to Australia’s participation in FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019, where she scored five goals in four matches.
