Super Falcons players celebrate goal against South Africa XPoojaMedia
The Super Falcons of Nigeria booked their place in the final of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco after a dramatic 2-1 win over defending champions Bayana Bayana of South Africa, sealed by a late goal from defender Mitchel Alozie.
With the match seemingly heading for extra time, Alozie launched a long ball into the South African box, which evaded everyone, including the goalkeeper and nestled into the net, stunning the Banyana Banyana defence.
The goal secured Nigeria’s spot in the final and marked a thrilling end to a closely contested semifinal clash. (Adapted from a report by Channels TV)
