Scottland Queens have secured a major financial reward after knocking CAPS United Royals out of the Munhumutapa Challenge Cup.
Each player will receive US$1,000 following their dramatic victory over their rivals.
Club president Scott Sakupwanya had promised the players the bonus before the crucial encounter.
His incentive clearly motivated the Queens as they delivered when it mattered most.
Scottland Queens hold their nerve
The two sides battled fiercely throughout the contest but failed to break the deadlock.
Neither team could find a decisive goal during regulation time.
Consequently, the match went straight to a tense penalty shootout.
Scottland Queens eventually prevailed 4-3 from the spot to seal their place in the next round.
The victory also triggered Sakupwanya’s promised reward for the players.
Big boost for women’s football
The result sends Scottland Queens into the Round of 16 of the inaugural tournament.
More importantly, the players can now expect a significant financial boost.
Sakupwanya has played a key role in developing Scottland’s women’s football project.
The club has increasingly invested in the women’s game through its Queens team.
Therefore, the US$1,000 reward represents another major incentive within domestic women’s football.
It also highlights Sakupwanya’s commitment to rewarding success on the pitch.
