Master Women were beaten 0:9 by Banaat Women in the preliminary stage of the AFC Women's Champions League on 20th August 2026. The result extended a run of poor form for the hosts, who had lost their previous four matches in a row. To be fair, they had been outclassed before — two of those defeats came by seven-goal margins.
Banaat Women came away with a convincing victory, though they had only drawn their previous game 1:1 with RTC Women. And here's the thing — a draw doesn't tell you everything about a team's potential. They made up for it on this occasion, opening up a gap that never closed.
Master Women's recent history reads like a warning. They lost 0:11 to Nasaaf Women on 17th August, then 0:5 to RTC Women three days later. The pattern was clear before this match — they were struggling to find any momentum. By then, the question wasn't whether they could compete, but how badly it would hurt.
The final scoreline tells the story without needing minute-by-minute detail. Nine goals without reply is a result decided in the first half, probably. The hosts switched off at the back and Banaat Women cut them open at will. There was no comeback, no drama — just a one-sided affair.
For Master Women, this adds to a difficult period. Four losses, zero goals scored, and a goal difference that keeps sinking. They may need to change shape at the break next time, or they risk falling further behind in whatever they were trying to achieve.
