## Super Falcons Soar: Nigeria Claims Record 10th AFCON Title

**Rabat, Morocco:** In a thrilling finale at Rabat's Olympic Stadium, the Nigerian women's national team staged a dramatic comeback to secure their record-breaking tenth Africa Cup of Nations title, defeating host nation Morocco 3-2.


### Atlas Lionesses Lead Early Charge


Morocco roared out of the gate, establishing an early lead with captain Ghizlane Chebbak finding the net in the 13th minute. Salma Amani doubled Morocco's advantage just minutes later in the 24th minute, capitalizing on a decisive assist from Iman Jaridi. The Atlas Lionesses held firm, taking their 2-0 lead into halftime and igniting hopes for a historic first title on home soil.

### Super Falcons Fight Back with Fury


The second half saw a surge of intensity from the Super Falcons as they mounted a relentless comeback. Esther Okoronkwo narrowed the gap in the 64th minute, sparking renewed hope for Nigeria. Jennifer Echegini then equalized for the Super Falcons in the 71st minute, leveling the score and setting the stage for a nail-biting finish.


As the clock ticked down, star striker Asisat Oshoala delivered the decisive blow in the 88th minute, sealing Nigeria's stunning turnaround victory with her goal.  

The match saw a moment of controversy when the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) reviewed a potential handball in Nigeria’s penalty area shortly before the third goal. However, no penalty was awarded.


With this triumph, Nigeria solidifies its position as the most successful team in the history of the Women's AFCON. 

### Morocco's Silver Lining


Despite falling short of their dream victory, Morocco, who appeared in only their second-ever final after reaching the 2022 title match also on home soil, displayed resilience and skill throughout the tournament. Their strong campaign included victories over Mali and Ghana in the knockout stages, securing a well-deserved runner-up finish.
