Nigeria’s next match is against Zambia on Saturday.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons currently sit in third position in Group C after losing 3-2 against Malawi in their CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) fixture on Tuesday night.
NewsBits reports that Malawi produced one of the biggest shocks in WAFCON history by beating record champions Nigeria in their Group C opener at Al Madina Stadium in Rabat. The Scorchers stunned the 10-time WAFCON champions with three second-half goals from Temwa Chawinga and her sister Tabita Chawinga.
Nigeria responded through a Rasheedat Ajibade penalty and a late goal from Uchenna Kanu, but the Super Falcons could not complete the comeback. The result means Nigeria sits in third position in Group C with zero points and a minus-one goal difference.
They are ahead of fourth-placed Egypt, who also have zero points with a minus-six goal difference. Topping Group C is Zambia. They have three points with six goals difference after thrashing Egypt 6-0. Behind Zambia is Malawi in second position with three points, with a plus-one goal difference.
