Super Falcons Trash South Africa, Zoom into WAFCON Final

News Update

The Super Falcons of Nigeria booked a spot in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after a hard-fought 2–1 win over holders South Africa.

Nigeria came close to scoring in the opening 12 minutes through Chiwendu Ihezuo and Esther Okoronkwo. Ihezuo was set up by a superb pass from Ashleigh Plumptre in the 11th minute, but South Africa goalkeeper Andile Dlamini produced a superb save to deny the striker. Dlamini also stopped Okoronkwo’s goal-bound effort one minute later.

South Africa barely tested Chiamaka Nnadozie despite their smooth play in midfield.

The Super Falcons were awarded a penalty one minute before the break after Bomgeka Gamede handled the ball inside the box. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade calmly slotted the ball into the net, with Dlamini getting a hand on it.

Linda Motlhalo equalised for South Africa from another penalty on the hour mark.

The right-back won the game for the Super Falcons with a long-range effort in stoppage time.
