Epic Showdown: Morocco vs Nigeria in Women's Africa Cup of Nations Final

Morocco and Nigeria are primed to clash on Saturday in a highly anticipated Women's Africa Cup of Nations final following closely contested semi-final matches.

The host nation, Morocco, overcame Ghana in a dramatic penalty shootout at Rabat's Stade Olympique. Meanwhile, Nigeria's Michelle Alozie secured a 2-1 victory over reigning champions South Africa in Casablanca with a stoppage-time goal.

Rasheedat Ajibade initially put Nigeria ahead from the penalty spot, but Linda Motlhalo's equalizer kept the South Africans in contention until Alozie's late heroics. Ghana will face South Africa for the third place, as the final showdown between Morocco and Nigeria looms in Rabat.
