Rachel Sebati and Letago Madiba were impressive as Fatih Vatanspor progressed to the final of the Turkish Kadinlar Ligi, after a 1-0 semi-final victory over Fomget Genclik on Sunday.
Sebati and Madiba continued to propel their side in the competition, contributing two and one goals, respectively, for their new side, following their arrival from champions ALG Spor last summer.
To reach the last four, Fatih had finished runners-up in Group A with six points to reach the last eight of the tournament before Thursday’s 4-3 win on penalties over Konak Belediyespor.
