On Monday, the Super Falcons of Nigeria will face Morocco in the semi-final of the ongoing 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Nigeria earned 6 points to finish second in Group C and advance to this level. The Super Falcons then extended their dominance over Cameroon by defeating them 1-0 in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
The Atlas Lionesses of Morocco, on the other hand, won three of their first three games to finish first in Group A. They advanced to the semi-finals on Wednesday night after a spirited 2-1 victory over Botswana.
CONCLUSION:
On paper, nine-time Women's Africa Cup of Nations champions Nigeria will be the favourites to win the semi-final match, but Morocco has proven to be a worthy host who has done enough to earn a first-ever FIFA Women's World Cup ticket and might derail Nigeria's plans to defend their title.
KICKOFF TIME: Nigeria versus Morocco match will go down on Monday at 9PM Nigerian time.
