WAFCON: Nigeria beat Cameroon 1-0 to qualify for semi-final and FIFA World Cup
Rasheedat Ajibade continues to prove how invaluable she is to Nigeria after heading Nigeria into another WAFCON semi-final and FIFA World Cup. Nigeria’s Super Falcons are through to the semi-final of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after they defeated a spirited Cameroon side 1-0 in the quarter-final on Thursday evening in Casablanca.
All four teams that make the semi-finals at the ongoing continental championship in Morocco would pick automatic tickets for the Women’s World Cup, with the team adjudged to have finished fifth presented with another chance for a shot at a Playoff Tournament next year.
A 1-2 defeat at the hands of South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in their opening match of Group C last week Monday somewhat dimmed the shine of the Super Falcons, but they rose stoutly to the occasion and won their other two matches with six points and six goals advantage shooting them to the last eight.
