Nigeria🇳🇬 revived their CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title defence with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Zambia🇿🇲 in Rabat, despite playing most of the match with 10 women ⚽🔥

Asisat Oshoala scored the decisive goal in the eighth minute at Al Madina Stadium as the Super Falcons responded to their shock opening defeat by Malawi with a performance built on discipline, resilience and survival. Chiamaka Nnado kept impressive clean sheets and Michelle Alozie was the chosen "Woman of the Match" 👑

Nigeria were forced to protect their lead for more than half the match after Oluwatosin Demehin was sent off in the 40th minute.

Zambia pushed for an equaliser after the break, but the defending champions held firm to claim three crucial points in Group C.

The result keeps Nigeria’s quarter-final hopes alive. The Super Falcons still have work to do, but this win has given them a route back into the tournament. Their TotalEnergies WAFCON defence full of life again 💚🤍💚🎉
