The Ethiopian women national team have lost 2-1 on aggregate to its Algerian counterpart in African Women Cup of Nations qualifier first round encounter.
Loza Abera’s strike in the first half was cancelled out by Dalila Zerrouki as both sides settled for a one all draw.
Lucy were trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Algiers fortnight ago.
The hosts missed some clear cut chances in the first half. Nonetheless, Loza broke the deadlock in the 35th minute through a rebound.
Uninspiring second half performance from the hosts was what the visitors wanted as they mount up the pressure in search on an equalizer. Their thrift paid off when Zerrouki snatched a late equalizer through a header. Lucy were punished for not deploying an offensive style of play.
The African Women Cup of Nations will be held later this year in Cameroon. Algeria will play East African nation Kenya in the final qualifying round.
