The Women's NFA Cup quarter-finals were played on Saturday at the Windhoek Independence Stadium, producing seven goals across four matches.

League champions FC Ongos and Mighty Gunners renewed their rivalry on Saturday afternoon, competing for a place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Mighty Gunners made a strong start and created the first scoring opportunities of the match.

Seven minutes into the game, Leena Alweendo struck the bottom left of the crossbar. Twenty minutes later, midfielder Lorraine Jossop came close to opening the scoring, but Goalkeeper of the Season Zoleka Nkambinde made a save to keep Ongos level.

The pressure continued as Fiola Vliete also had an opportunity to score, but failed to find the target.

Mighty Gunners created better chances in the first half through Alweendo and Vliete.

Just before half-time, Mariana Goaxas connected with a Millicent Hikuam corner to give her side the lead with a header.

FC Ongos responded in the second half and created their best opportunities through Juliana Blou.

Despite sustained pressure from Ongos, the Mighty Gunners defence held firm to secure a 1-0 victory and a place in the semi-finals.

In the other quarter-final matches, Julinho Athletic needed penalties to overcome NUST Babes, while 2024 runners-up Khomas Nampol defeated UNAM Bokkies 4-0.
