The two girl teams played soccer to a tie. But they set records. Just imagine girls not only going to school but participating a school soccer match.
It is rare for so many girls to attend second school in a Congolese village such as Bulape. If it was not for a separate girls school, such a game would not be possible.
Also, it is rare for girls to participate in sports. In poor villages, soccer is only sport played. Congo is not a big sports country. Children and young adults are busy surviving. There is just loo little time left for sports.
