Another rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana is on the cards at the ongoing 2023 African Games in Ghana as the Falconets clash against the hosts in the final of the female football event on Thursday (today) at the Cape Coast Stadium.
To set up the clash, Nigeria secured a 2-0 win over Uganda in the first semi-finals on Monday while Ghana outclassed Senegal 3-1. Substitutes Judith Okah and Chiamaka Okwuchukwu provided the goals that sent Nigeria into the final.
Nigeria are defending champions of the women’s football event, and aside from trying to repeat their Rabat 2019 feat, Chrispoher Danjuma’s girls are also looking to avenge their loss in the final of the WAFU B U-20 Championship hosted by Ghana last year, in which the host nation edged out the Falconets in the final in Kumasi to win the regional title.
Danjuma’s girls have been commanding in Cape Coast, scoring eight goals in three matches without conceding any. On the other hand, Ghana have scored seven and conceded three.
