The defending champions were losing, by 2-5, in the opening minutes, but after a timeout, the apparent lack of concentration and errors not very characteristic of the pearls, were transformed into positional organization and in plays with a beautiful effect, which were translated into goals.
At 20 minutes of the first half, the turnaround took place, and the coolness and effectiveness of the experienced Natália Bernardo, who infected the entire team in attack and defense, were decisive for the National Team to remain connected to the chain and gain a new life.
Right at the start of the second half, Cameroon burst in, reducing the disadvantage to one goal.
But the title champions’ response was immediate and guided by Liliane Paulo, they took off on the scoreboard to 19-13, with Natália Bernardo equally irreproachable in the seven-meter free kicks she had at her disposal.
Angola kept the tune and the dominance was accentuated, with the differences between both teams becoming visible and with the National Team appearing stronger in all aspects.
Natália Bernardo continued to be inspired and the Cameroonians had no way to counter her offensive capacity.
The second half was completely controlled by the experience, effectiveness and coldness of the pearls, allowing them to reach their fourth consecutive title, repeating the victory achieved in Yaoundé, in 2021.
