Nigeria produced an incredible second-half comeback to defeat Morocco 3-2 and secure their historic 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations title. The Super Falcons, led by Esther Okoronkwo, overcame a 2-0 deficit at Rabat's Stade Olympique. Morocco's goals came in the first 24 minutes from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy, putting Nigeria at a disadvantage. However, the West African team rallied to notch three goals in the second period, ultimately triumphing. The final whistle marked Nigeria's 10th title in 13 editions, reaffirming their supremacy in African women's football, according to BBC, Al Jazeera, and TRT Global.
The match began dramatically with Morocco taking control early, showcasing their attacking prowess. Chebbak opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a precise strike, followed by Mssoudy doubling the lead just 12 minutes later. Despite having more possession, Nigeria struggled to convert their chances into goals in the first half. Okoronkwo and Ijamilusi were integral in turning the tide after the break, with Okoronkwo first scoring from the penalty spot in the 64th minute to cut Morocco's lead, according to BBC and Al Jazeera.
