The Super Falcons of Nigeria made its record towards ninth
title after its victory over the Banyana Banyana of South Africa at the 11th
African Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) in Ghana on Saturday 1 December, 2018.
It was, however, a very disappointing evening for the Banyana
Banyana of South Africa who hoped for a first title but lost 3-4 to Nigeria on
penalty kicks.
At the Accra Sports Stadium, both sides had to endure 120
minutes of play before a winner could emerge in favour of the Super Falcons.
It is the first time in the tournament's history that the
final match was decided via penalties after extra time.
Nigeria, South Africa and Cameroon are by their success as
the competition's best three Africa's flagbearers at the 2019 FIFA Women's
World Cup in France.
