A Match of Two Halves
The final in Rabat saw Morocco take an early lead through a stunning strike in the 15th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures. The Atlas Lionesses dominated possession for much of the first half, leaving Nigeria struggling to find their rhythm.
The Comeback Kings Strike Again
However, the second half told a different story as Nigeria's experience shone through. The Super Falcons equalised through a clinical finish in the 58th minute before completing their dramatic turnaround with a header from a corner in the 72nd minute.
Record-Breaking Achievement
This victory extends Nigeria's dominance in African women's football, making them the first nation to reach double figures in WAFCON titles. The triumph also serves as perfect preparation for next year's Women's World Cup.
Moroccan Pride Despite Defeat
