Winning starts for Jordan, Bahrain in WAFF Women's Championship

Manama: Holders Jordan recovered from a goal down to secure a start to remember, while three goals in 12 minutes gave hosts Bahrain a winning opening to the 2019 WAFF Women's Championship at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium on Monday.

JORDAN 4-1 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Jordan's title defence looked to have got off to a shaky start when 19-year-old Naeema Juma gave the United Arab Emirates a 31st minute lead, but Nouf Al Adwan's own goal on the stroke of half time gave the defending champions a lifeline.

It proved to be the game's turning point, with Jordan never looking back from Raya Hina's 63rd minute goal, before she added a second to make it 3-1 for Al-Nahsmiyat in the 11 minutes later.
