Nigeria produced a dramatic performance to secure a 3-2 win over Morocco at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, securing their 10th Africa Women's title on Saturday night, July 26.

Super Falcons went into the final having conceded 1 goal, but it took the Atlas Lionesses 12th minute to break the deadlock through captain Ghizlaine Chebbak.

Morocco doubled the lead in the 24th minute after Sanaa Msoudy found the back of the net to compound the woes of the Super Falcons further.

In the second half, Nigeria responded back with Esther Okoronkwo scoring from the spot after Nouhaila Benzina handled the ball in the penalty box.

The 10-time champions levelled up in the 71st minute after Okoronkwo beat her marker and gave Folashade Ijamilusi a superb pass, which was neatly converted.

Two minutes to the end of the game, substitute Jennifer Echegini completed the comeback, firing in a half-volley from Okoronkwo’s superb free-kick to silence the home crowd and break Moroccan hearts, per CAF.

Super Falcons deserve to be honoured- Meremegbnam

The Media Officer of Rivers Angels, Faith Oluchi Meremegbnam has urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a public holiday on Monday, July 28, in honour of the Super Falcons for winning their tenth title.

Speaking in an exclusive comment with Legit.ng, Meremegbnam said the player, technical crew, and the backroom staff deserve national awards.

The former Media Officer of the Flamingos (U17 women's team) said the Super Eagles were given recognised despite finishing second at the AFCON last year. She said:

"I am appealing to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, to announce a public holiday on Monday and the National Awards to the players and officials.

"Super Eagles were given a MON award for finishing second during the last AFCON in Ivory Coast, so let the Super Falcons players get a higher award, including the coaches and backroom staff.

"Since the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is interested in sports especially football, I am optimistic that it is going to be very possible."
