Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie was the hero on Tuesday night as her late goal secured Nigeria’s place in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
In a tense and evenly matched semi-final showdown against hosts Morocco, Alozie struck in the dying minutes to break the deadlock and send the Falcons through.
The dramatic goal stunned the home crowd and sparked wild celebrations on the Nigerian bench, marking what is arguably the team’s most crucial moment of the tournament so far.
With the win, Nigeria will now prepare to compete for a record-extending WAFCON title in the final, as they look to reclaim continental dominance.
