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.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
