Nigeria beats South Africa in Wafcon Classic to go to Final, Morocco Aswait
Nigeria has reserved its place in the final of the Nations Cup in female Africa 2025 after a hard victory disputed 2-1 against South Africa on Tuesday evening.
The goals of Rasheedat Ajibade and Michelle Alozie were sufficient to see the Super Falcons overcoming the reigning African champions of the Larbi Zaouli stadium in Casablanca.
The match was full of action, fueled by the fierce rivalry between the two nations and their impressive form throughout the tournament.
However, it was Justine Madugu’s team that broke the dead end just before half-time. After Bambanani Mbane was penalized for handball in the box, referee Shamirah Nabadda granted a penalty to the nine African champions.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade has calmly intensified and converted to the place.
Before the breakthrough, Nigeria checked possession but was refused several times by the impressive South African goalkeeper, Andile Dlamini.
Banyana Banyana made a level at the hours after Hildah Magia was brought back by Osinachi Ohale.
Linda Motlhalo has intensified and confidently converted the penalty, moving pressure on the nine African champions.
Nevertheless, it was the Super Falcons who had the last word, thanks to the superb strike of Alozie in dying moments. The Houston Dash star sparked a powerful long -range shot that sailed in front of a defenseless Dlamini.
Nigeria will face Morocco – which then preceded Ghana to sanctions – in the last scheduled for July 26 in Rabat, while they aim to guarantee a 10th African title with record stretches.
