Nigeria Triumphs 6-2 Over Egypt in WAFCON Quarter-Finals
Nigeria's Super Falcons advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after a commanding 6-2 victory against Egypt. This match marked Nigeria's final group game, necessitated by a prior 2-1 defeat to Malawi, which heightened the urgency for a strong performance.
Asisat Oshoala initiated the scoring with a penalty, followed by Gift Monday's goal, assisted by Rinsola Babajide, just before halftime. Egypt responded with a penalty from Nadine Ghazi, reducing Nigeria's lead.
However, the Super Falcons dominated the second half, with Uchenna Kanu extending the lead to 3-1, and Christy Uche Ibe converting another penalty for 4-1. Ghazi completed her hat trick with two additional goals, bringing the score to 4-2 before Nigeria sealed the match with late goals from Rasheedat Ajibade and Joy Omewa.
Both Nigeria and Malawi qualified from Group C based on tie-break rules, having equal points.
