Kgatlana makes winning debut as SL Benfica defeat Machia and Uchendu's Braga

Thembi Kgatlana made her debut appearance in Portugal as SL Benfica claimed secured a shock 3-1 victory over Sporting Braga in the Women's League Cup on Saturday night.

Coming into Saturday's contest on the back of a 5-0 triumph at Torreense in Liga BPI, Benfica looked to be heading for the same result after being held to a 2-2 draw at home by Sporting CP.

For the visitors, who boasts of two Africans in Cameroon's Farida Machia and Nigeria's Chinaza Uchendu, they were hoping to build on their 4-0 opening victory over CL Benfica in the competition.
