WAFCON 2024: Morocco Books Ticket to Final After Dominating Ghana 4-2 in Penalty
Rabat — Morocco's Lionesses dominated Ghana's Black Queens 4-2 in penalty kicks to qualify for the final of the ongoing Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). In a dramatic first half at Rabat's Stade Olympique, Ghana stunned the host country with a breakthrough just before the interval. The Black Queens, enjoying only their second-ever WAFCON semi-final, showed early discipline and resilience against a Morocco side brimming with home advantage. Ghana's Stella Nyamekye scored the match's opener in the 26th minute from a swift counter‑attack that caught the Atlas Lionesses off balance. Despite boasting the tournament's best scoring record and a potent frontline led by Ghizlane Chebbak and Ibtissam Jraidi, the lionesses found Ghana's Black Queens forming a stubborn defense. The hosts remained in control of possession following a high-tempo start, but fatigue is creeping into their play. Following a tense 10 minutes to the second half, Morocco responded as Sakina Ouzraoui leveled the score in the 55th minute with a composed finish just inside the box. The second half unfolded as a tense tug of war between both sides, with neither able to break the deadlock. As the final whistle blew, the score remained unchanged, sending the match into extra time. Despite recurrent attempts to penetrate Ghana's strong defence, Atlas Lionesses never succeeded to reach the net during the second half of extra time. The extra time ended in an unbreakable 1-1 stalemate, leaving fans from both sides on edge as they watched penalty kicks, where fortune often plays as much of a role as skill. In the penalty kicks, Morocco's goal keeper Khadija Er-Rmichi saved the third shoutout securing her team a ticket to the final match. With this win, Morocco's Atlas Lionesses are set to lock horns with Nigeria to dispute the 2024 WAFCON title.

In WAFCON history alone, Nigeria have won eight of their 10 meetings. Nigeria are aiming for a record-extending 10th WAFCON title. South Africa, the defending champions, are looking to reach a third consecutive final and retain the trophy they won in Morocco in 2022. Both teams took contrasting paths to the last four. Nigeria thrashed Zambia 5–0 in the quarter-finals, while South Africa edged Senegal 4–1 on penalties after a goalless draw. Nigeria remain unbeaten and have yet to concede a goal at the tournament. Esther Okoronkwo leads the assist chart with four, while Chinwe Ihezuo is their top scorer with three goals. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade has won two Woman of the Match awards. In defence, Nigeria have looked solid with Osinachi Ohale marshalling the back line, supported by fullbacks Michelle Alozie and Ashley Plumptre. South Africa are without injured forward Thembi Kgatlana but have experience in Jermaine Seoposenwe, Hildah Magaia and Lebogang Ramalepe. Magaia, who scored twice in the 2022 final, has not yet found the net in this edition. Former Nigeria captain Desire Oparanozie told CAFOnline: 'It's more than just a game. A clash of titans with national pride on the line. Nigeria should defend narrowly and remain compact.' Ex-Banyana Banyana captain Amanda Dlamini added: 'It's going to be a mind game. South Africa must show composure in the final third and trust in their set pieces.' The winner will face either Morocco or Ghana in Saturday's final.
