Nigeria's Super Falcons Triumph Over Egypt 6-2 at WAFCON
On Wednesday, Nigeria's Super Falcons secured their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 WAFCON by defeating Egypt 6-2 in Rabat. The match was pivotal as Nigeria had a shaky start with one win and one loss in their first two games.
They needed a victory to reach six points and stay in contention for tie-breakers against Malawi and Zambia. Nigeria took the lead with a penalty from Asisat Oshoala and later extended their advantage with a goal from Gift Monday.
Egypt managed to score from the penalty spot just before half-time. In the second half, Uchenna Kanu scored shortly after coming on, restoring Nigeria's two-goal lead.
Christy Ucheibe added a fourth goal from another penalty. Despite Egypt's Nadin Yasser Ezzat Ghazy scoring twice, Nigeria's victory ensured their advancement, while the match's outcome affected the standings of Malawi and Zambia.
