Morocco to meet Nigeria in WAFCON final
Morocco and Nigeria will meet on Sunday to decide the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after both came through gritty semi-final encounters on Wednesday.
Morocco edged Ghana on penalties at Rabat’s Stade Olympique while earlier Nigeria ended the reign of defending champion South Africa with a last-gasp 2-1 victory in their clash in Casablanca.
Michelle Alozie’s floating free kick was missed by both the onrushing Nigerian attacker and the South African goalkeeper and floated into the net for the winner four minutes into stoppage time.
Rasheedat Ajibade had given nine-time winner Nigeria the lead from the penalty-spot on the stroke of halftime, before South Africa struck back with a spot-kick of its own in the 60th minute, converted by Linda Motlhalo.
