Ajibade Leads Super Falcons to WAFCON Final After Tough Win Over South Africa
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has shared her thoughts on Nigeria’s intense 2-1 win over South Africa in the WAFCON semi-final. Ajibade played a key role in the victory, scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot just before halftime. Her performance earned her the Woman of the Match award—her third in the tournament so far.
Speaking after the match, the 25-year-old acknowledged the challenge, saying, “We knew it would be tough. Every match in this tournament has tested us. South Africa is a strong team, and we’ve met them on several big occasions, from Olympic qualifiers to WAFCON, so we came prepared for anything.”
The win also snapped South Africa’s 15-match unbeaten run in the WAFCON finals. With this victory, Nigeria now heads to the final, where they’ll face host nation Morocco on Saturday in Rabat. Morocco booked their spot after edging past Ghana in a dramatic penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
