Nigerias Super Falcons have etched their name in the history books once again, becoming the first African team to win the Womens Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON an unprecedented 10 times.
In a breathtaking final held in Rabat on Friday night, the Falcons pulled off a remarkable 3-2 comeback win over host nation Morocco, completing what they dubbed MissionX.
Down 2-0 at halftime, the odds seemed stacked against the Nigerian side. But in classic Super Falcons fashion, they rose to the occasion with a second-half masterclass that stunned the home crowd and sent a clear message about their dominance in African womens football.
Esther Okoronkwo sparked the comeback in the 64th minute with a composed finish to make it 2-1.
The momentum shifted, and it wasnt long before Folashade Ijamilusi levelled the score after receiving a fine pass from Okoronkwo, who had dribbled her way past Moroccan defenders in a solo run that left fans breathless.
