Angola defeated Senegal in the final of the 23rd Africa Women’s Handball Championships held in Congo Brazzaville on Wednesday.

The Angola women’s national handball team recorded a 19-14 victory to clinch their 13th title of the competition.

The Pearls, nickname for the team, had a difficult game against Senegal, who dominated the first 30 minutes and led the first half 10-7.

Angola returned from the break with more determination, as the Kassoma Albertina-led side quickly overshadowed Awa N’diaye and Co, levelling the scoreline to 10-10 before powering their lead to an eventual 19-14.

The 2018 African Women’s Handball Championships began with 10 teams on December 2.

The winner of the 2018 African Women’s Handball Championships, Angola, runners-up, Senegal and third placed DR Congo, have qualified for next year’s global event.
