Nigeria and Morocco will lock horns in the grand finale of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON after securing dramatic semifinal victories on Tuesday night .
In a pulsating clash at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, Nigeria edged defending champions South Africa 2-1 in a fiercely contested encounter that lived up to its billing.
Rasheedat Ajibade opened the scoring for the Super Falcons from the penalty spot just before halftime after a VAR check penalised a South African defender for a handball.
South Africa responded almost immediately after the restart, also from the spot, when a clumsy challenge gifted Linda Motlhalo the chance to convert and restore parity.
