WAFCON: Super Falcons to play host country Morocco in final

Nigeria’s Super Falcons will play host country Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), a reenactment of the clash between the two sides in the last edition of the competition.

The Super Falcons defeated rivals South Africa 2-1, courtesy of a late strike from defender Michelle Alozie, whose long ball evaded all players before resting in the back of the net.

Rasheedat Ajibade converted a spot kick just before half-time to give Coach Justin Madugu’s side the lead. The defending champions got the equaliser via a penalty from Linda Motlhalo in the 60th minute.

With the game almost destined for extra time, Alozie floated a ball into the South African box from midway on the pitch.
