Super Falcons Dominate Zambia 5–0 to Reach WAFCON Semi-Finals
Nigeria’s Super Falcons crushed Zambia 5–0 to reach the Women’s Africa Cup semi-finals.
Their dominant win in Casablanca fuels hopes of securing a historic tenth continental championship.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons have booked their place in the semi-finals of the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with a commanding 5–0 victory over Zambia.

The quarter-final clash took place at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, drawing excitement and anticipation as fans described the encounter as a “final before the final.”
From the sound of the referee’s whistle, it was clear the Super Falcons meant business. They opened the scoring within the opening minutes and maintained control throughout the match.
The Nigerian team, who are nine-time champions of the tournament, lived up to their reputation with a dominant display that reaffirmed their pursuit of a tenth title, a mission they’ve dubbed “Mission X.”
Football analysts had predicted a tightly contested battle between Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala, a six-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year, and Zambia’s Barbara Banda, the current African Women’s Best Player. However, that much-anticipated duel didn’t materialize, as the Super Falcons took complete charge of the game.
At the end of 90 minutes, Nigeria not only sealed a place in the next round but also extended their perfect defensive record, having yet to concede a goal in the tournament. For Zambia, the heavy loss marks the end of their campaign and their hopes of lifting the continental trophy for the first time, at least for this year.
The Super Falcons now advance with confidence and momentum, edging closer to another historic title win.
