Benin's women's team faces a testing period after three consecutive defeats across recent fixtures. The side has conceded 10 goals while scoring just four, a stark imbalance that reflects deeper structural problems in both defence and attack.
Morocco dismantled Benin 4-2, with the visitors unable to contain the hosts' attacking threat despite scoring twice themselves. That loss followed a heavier defeat to Cameroon, who won 3-1 in a match where Benin managed only a single goal. Most recently, Ivory Coast edged past Benin 2-1, a narrow result that offered some encouragement but still extended the winless run to three matches.
The pattern across these games reveals vulnerability at the back. Conceding between two and four goals in each outing suggests defensive frailty that opponents have readily exploited. While Benin have shown they can score - they netted in all three matches - the output remains insufficient to compete at this level.
The 4-2 loss to Morocco and the 3-1 reversal to Cameroon are particularly concerning, both indicating lapses in concentration during key passages. The 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast was closer, but Benin failed to capitalise on opportunities to level or go ahead.
Rebuilding will require tighter defensive organisation and sharper finishing in attack. The current trajectory is unsustainable.
