Efih, Adubea, Hajri and Kanteh win first silverware with Sporting de Huelva

Nigeria's Peace Efih, Ghana's Princella Adubea, Morocco's Meryem Hajri and Gambia's Fatoumata Kanteh helped Sporting de Huelva win the 2019 Colombina Cup after a 2-1 win over CD Tacon on Saturday.

The African trio of Efih, Adubea and Kanteh were among the 11 new arrivals at the Huelva-based outfit this season, uniting with Hajri, who is set for her third term at Sporting.

Before Tacon's encounter, Hajri started alongside Efih in midfield, with Adubea upfront as Patri Ojeda's strike gave Sporting a 1-0 win over Sevilla.

On Saturday, Kanteh opened the scoring in the 22nd minute thanks to Yoko Tanaka's assist for Sporting, but the Spanish top-flight debutants secured the equaliser eight minutes later.
