July 23, 2025

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have 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.

Banyana Banyana’s resistance was finally broken in the 44th minute when Nigeria’s captain, RASHEEDAT AJIBADE, calmly converted from the penalty spot after a South African defender was penalized for handling FOLASHADE IJAMILUSI’S cross in the box.

With the match seemingly heading for extra time, MICHELLE 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.
