00:08Cameroon in green, red and yellow get this game underway up against Nigeria, playing in green and white here.
00:17There's Makana down to Eto, and the ball going out for a throw-in for Nigeria.
00:23In the early moments of this high-octane encounter, very physical, they've been playing physical football.
00:30Cameroon, they won't be afraid to get stuck in against the Super Falcons, a team that we know is just
00:37so talented in so many different departments,
00:40but also physically astute and capable of shaking any nation.
00:45They've done it before, they battle hard and they score goals.
00:51Another throw-in down this left-hand side.
00:57This is Michelle Alouzi, Chicago Stars FC.
01:02It'll be a long throw that she'll be trying to get towards the Nigeria with a shot, and it's a
01:10stinger, it really is, stopped there by Michele.
01:15Free kick.
01:17I like the way that she strays out of position and comes over and she's really making the most of
01:24her ability to come over and just help out.
01:30You can see that Toko and Joy are right at the very back of the far post.
01:34Always should have a player trailing around the back for the loose ball.
01:38Here's Mayong, delivers into the penalty box, too close to Nadozi, who collects it to the joy of the Nigerian
01:47supporters.
01:47It's quickly passed up. There's the attempted through ball there to gift Monday.
01:52Make sure that it's slick with Maeva, Nhaju, Amazon FAP, which is the Force Army Police.
02:00Lovely little spin-chin.
02:02But Michelle Alouzi, she's got a bit of support.
02:04A little bit of backup there from Eto'o, and it's gonna be a first yellow card there for Michelle
02:10Alouzi.
02:11And the Chicago Stars FC player, holding her down from behind.
02:16There's the trip, the contacts, there's a little bit of everything, really.
02:22Just gets the camera.
02:24And the other hand, the other hand, the other hand, the other hand, the other hand, the other hand, the
02:33other hand.
02:35Charlene Mayong, now playing for Al-Halal in Saudi Arabia.
02:41The former Louvre Minkoff player, she also went to China.
02:45Let's see what she can do from this position.
02:47There's the ball down towards the byline.
02:49Maybe not the right decision.
02:51The timing wasn't perfect.
02:52It gets knocked out for a throw-in, but you can see that Makana was a little bit off the
02:59pace.
02:59Need to be synchronized perfectly, just to connect properly.
03:04There's Makana once again.
03:06Good strength from Nagar Manga.
03:09She'll get the ball.
03:10There's the attempt by Meeong, sorry, to try and get the ball over into the penalty box.
03:15But intercepted, and Cameroon pick it up now.
03:18There's an opportunity for them to try and do something.
03:22The break was on, blocked.
03:24And finally, it's gone over to the other side with Colette Nzana.
03:31Looking for Mandua, it goes over her head.
03:38She's got knocked down in a big way.
03:40It's going to be a free kick, Astor, Tocco and Gioia.
03:44Knocks to the ground.
04:01That's what I was talking about.
04:15This is the organization for the Nigerian Super Falcons.
04:23Tocco and Gioia will go off and wait until she's given the green light to come back on.
04:30It's set-piece time now for Cameroon.
04:33Valentina Nguele waiting to see what the indomitable Lionesses can do here.
04:46Valentina Nguele waiting to see what the indomitable Lionesses can do here.
05:07There's the shot driven right through, it's a thunderous shot and a great goal.
05:12Stunning, absolutely stunning.
05:17You won't see a better shot from the 19-year-old Maiva Nadu.
05:27What a goal.
05:29She absolutely thumped it.
05:32It was too strong for Chiamaka Naduzi.
05:43And the Amazon FAP player, just look at that.
05:50A stinger.
05:53Driven right through.
05:55You could see that there was only one place that that ball is going into the corner.
06:02And Cameroon take the lead in this quarter-final against the ten-time African champions Nigeria.
06:27And a 1-0 lead here for Cameroon.
06:33Ball comes out to the right side, there's a chance here, it's into the penalty box if Monday can't get
06:40the shot that she wanted.
06:42Michele gets her hand to it, and saves the day for Cameroon.
06:47She should have smashed that in.
06:49Look at the ball that comes across, it's a delight from Ajibadi.
06:54But look at that, maybe she should have done a little bit more.
06:59Corner for Nigeria.
07:01This is hotting up quite nicely here.
07:04Lovely header, racing out.
07:06Watch out for Ngarmanga.
07:08It's two against three, and then there's a whole bunch of Cameroon players.
07:14But look at that for a challenge.
07:16And O'Hale doing work.
07:19Nigeria just using the pitch perfectly, comes out to Babajide.
07:24Babajide.
07:26Trying to deal with Makana.
07:30That's a decent ball that's been picked up, but there's a chance.
07:33And knocked over, no free kick.
07:35Nothing on Uchibi.
07:37She goes down.
07:39And Cameroon on the attack once again.
07:41They've got to be careful.
07:42And it takes a little bit of class from Sinachi.
07:46And O'Hale to deal with that at the back.
07:50Collected again, Toko and Joya.
07:52Oh, she gets knocked over there.
07:54Rabia O'Don with a double.
07:58Mule Rashid Stadium.
08:00Brought across to Olozzi.
08:03She can't get the right pass.
08:05They're playing physical football.
08:09Cameroon winning possession.
08:11That's great.
08:13Backtracking there from Michelle Olozzi.
08:15Making sure that Nigeria collect possession.
08:17They've got an option with Babajide.
08:20Babajide gets the ball across.
08:22It does find its way!
08:22There's a drive coming through.
08:24And it's a fine strike indeed.
08:27And the danger from Jennifer Echeghini when she gets into that position.
08:33It felt comfortable for her, but Michele.
08:36Well, that was the pass that came back.
08:39That was the shot that came through from it.
08:44And the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.
08:46And a wonderful shot.
08:49Good work down the left-hand side.
08:51But look at that, the challenge coming in.
08:53Well, they're all putting in high-percentage challenges,
08:58including Ivana Makana.
09:02And one of the home-based players, plays Vilecki, football fee, the girls team.
09:08This is Olozzi with a long throw, trying to find Monday.
09:11Okay.
09:14She gets the ball back.
09:16Olozzi lost the ball into the penalty box.
09:18There's her.
09:19Olozzi had her.
09:21She was sandwiched, wasn't she?
09:24Debra Abiodun.
09:25Otherwise, you thought that maybe...
09:32Jennifer Echeghini for Paris Saint-Germain.
09:35Jennifer Echeghini for Paris Saint-Germain.
09:36With that right foot whips it in.
09:37Front post.
09:38An attempt to try and get a shot in.
09:39It has been picked up.
09:41Michelle Olozzi gets the shot in.
09:42And finally, it's been blasted away there by Maykitz.
09:48And collected.
09:49Excellent work over on that far side by Echeghini.
09:53Collected at the back.
09:57Now a chance for Kanu to try and show off some of her wizardry.
10:01It's the overlapped pass that she chooses instead.
10:06Christy Ocepe, but it gets knocked out for...
10:1445 minutes are up.
10:21Four minutes of added time.
10:23There's the deliverance of the penalty box.
10:33Nigeria, go again.
10:38Abiodun, back over to Oladipo.
10:45Doesn't happen very often.
10:47But that's good work, good battling there, Abiodun.
10:49Unless they can get an equalizer here.
10:53Picked up by Oladipo on the right-hand side.
10:55Leaves it for a captain.
10:56Ajibade, there's the ball, it comes in!
10:58Giff Monday can't get to it first.
11:00It's smothered by Michele.
11:01And again, the heroics coming from the Benfica goalkeeper.
11:09You could most definitely say that there was a Nigerian Buscube waiting to get on the end of it.
11:16But she has...
11:19Michele, we can see from the replay, there's the ball on that right-hand side.
11:22It comes across, there's a couple of players in the penalty box.
11:26Monday can't get to it first.
11:29The outstretched leg there of the goalscorer.
11:32Niangiu can't get to it.
11:34And then it falls over the top.
11:39She connects it, didn't get the right touch.
11:42There's Olozzi into the penalty box.
11:44It's hunched away.
11:55It's the halftime whistle, finally, that's been blown by the referee, Dancino Tuanian Yucua.
12:01And how about this for a scenario quite remarkable?
12:06The scoreline, we don't see it all the time, we don't see the Super Falcons trail,
12:10but they are today up against the Cameroon team, the Indomitable Lionesses,
12:19who are very hungry to get their place in the semifinals of this Wafcon.
12:24The halftime scores, Cameroon one, Nigeria nil here.
12:36From the way, Giff Monday gets the ball rolling for Nigeria,
12:41who are hungry to try and get back into this.
12:46It will go to extra time.
12:49It could go to penalties.
12:51Ball comes out to the right-hand side.
12:53Oladipu with the cross that comes over, attempt to try and get rid of it.
12:58That might have...
13:00Oh, there's another player down.
13:02It looks like it's...
13:06The goal scorer down on the ground and in some trouble.
13:17Little flick on towards Monday.
13:19Monday trying to get there first, she's still got the ball.
13:21There's a chance here, Nigeria on the attack.
13:24Well, Canu came across, which I thought was really smart,
13:28just to give a helping hand,
13:30but caught a whole handful of shots that have gone their way,
13:33but they haven't managed to beat Michele.
13:43Oh, that's just struck behind the goal.
13:45That's a waste of a corner from Rashida Adjibade.
13:53Okay.
13:54It only wants to mind that.
14:13Throwing right next to the corner flag.
14:18Spark and create something here.
14:20You've got to understand that they need to score an equalizer.
14:24These Nigerian fans getting a little bit impatient here.
14:28Watching and hoping that the Super Falcons can get themselves back in business.
14:33That's a nice little ball back from Lozzi.
14:35There's the delivery into the penalty box.
14:36It's going high over the charm.
14:37Mikaeli, safe hands, as calm and collected as you like.
14:43Pressure so well.
14:45There's the lofted ball that comes over, and she really doesn't have an issue there in taking Christy Ocebi.
14:53That's not going to happen just yet, but just biding her time.
14:55Wait for the...
14:56There's the delivery coming over.
14:58It's Mikaeli, safe hands again.
15:01Some sign of glue substance on her gloves because it's not flying past.
15:06It's very much dealt with comfortably.
15:12Oh, it's being snippet.
15:13Yeah, that's a great ball down the left-hand side.
15:15Canu, Canu, can she get the ball across?
15:18She's just been so unselfish where I think you need to go for the shot.
15:22Mende was in the middle, but Canu really should have gone for the shot.
15:26That was just a...
15:30This is the free kick that's gonna be sent in, but not until the referee blows the whistle.
15:36Here we go.
15:37It will be passed back to her.
15:38There's an option going down the left-hand side.
15:40Canu gets the ball across.
15:41There's no one there to get on the end of it.
15:43It's a little toe poke and picks over a long range shot.
15:46But it's driven very firmly, directly, and Mikaeli, who comes to the rescue once again.
15:52Abiudan with a stinger, but it was not going past.
15:57I wonder if she's holding an injury.
16:02Tony Payne coming on, the Inter Milan midfielder.
16:09Well, close, and a chance there again.
16:14Coming their way from Michel Elluzzi.
16:18Struck it very well.
16:21Wide of the targets, Justin Ndugu.
16:27There's the header there coming from Toko Ndugu.
16:30Picked up there, that's a delivery.
16:32It's down the right-hand side.
16:33Cameroon on the attack once again.
16:34There's the delivery coming over, hasn't been met.
16:37It's not in the right place for Ngamanga.
16:39The idea was good, though.
16:49Now, here's the corner.
16:51Front post, chance for a shot, potentially.
16:54But it's been collected once again over on that far side.
16:58Trying to get past, that's great work, that really is, from Toko Ndugu.
17:02But it's been dealt with, diffused by Ndugu.
17:05She does the business at the back.
17:08Ball comes out, again, it's been cut out.
17:10You can see that Cameroon on the attack.
17:11There's the delivery coming over, straight at the goalkeeper.
17:14And Ndugu just doing well to bring it into that, but what they're trying to do.
17:20Ngoc unleashing that shot there.
17:26Down that left-hand side, it's been picked up.
17:30Great work, Nigeria on the attack, into the penalty box.
17:34Is that a free kick?
17:35Yes, it is, right on the edge.
17:41That right-hand side, easily dealt with.
17:46Now, let's see what happens from the set-piece.
17:52We saw an immaculate set-piece.
17:58Shot coming from Meiva Niaju.
18:01Will we see Nigeria respond?
18:06He's moved up into the penalty area.
18:09Lots of the big defenders down here.
18:12Oh, Halle.
18:14They're all there.
18:19Delivering into the penalty box.
18:21Taken well by Michele.
18:26The reassuring hands of the Benfica goalkeeper allow the indomitable line.
18:35But they still manage to keep possession.
18:39Oh, Halle.
18:44There's the delivery.
18:45High ball, that's a really beautiful ball.
18:47That's a great header.
18:49And look at that, stop coming from Michele.
18:52Point blank range, she delivers yet another five-star stop.
19:00Wow.
19:02Well, there's the delivery.
19:04It couldn't have been a better cross.
19:06Look at that, the one-handed save.
19:09That left hand getting in the way from that fantastic header from Cani.
19:14Cani did the right thing, going for the corner, forcing the goalkeeper to really try and get her.
19:20And she had to move, she had to shift.
19:23It's a little bit close.
19:24That far corner would be a bit better, but it was still a brilliant cross.
19:29Good look.
19:34Well, she's still got possession.
19:36Nigeria on the attack, it's excellent play.
19:38Down that left-hand side, the shot comes in.
19:40Michele, the follow-up, doesn't happen.
19:43Canu can't get there.
19:45It all opened up over on that far side, very dangerous indeed.
19:50But look, Cameroon now on the attack as a long searching ball goes out to the right-hand side.
19:55It has been kept in.
19:56There's the race towards the byline, still in possession.
19:59It goes out over the line, and it will be a goal kick for Nigeria.
20:19Free kick, hit high.
20:23But Kronkwa wasn't really close to it.
20:25It does go down into the corner, this is a chance here.
20:28Here's Payne, Payne, Tina Payne.
20:31There's the delivery, it's a good one as well.
20:33Far post, another chance for a decent header this time.
20:35It's strong defensive work at the back there from Dudu.
20:40They've only lost once against Cameroon before.
20:43And that was back in 2012.
20:46Toko and Joya.
20:49Waiting until she gets the green light to take this.
20:56Four players in the wall.
20:58Toko and Joya, Toko and Joya gets the...
21:01Oh, it's punched over!
21:02And cleared there by Nardozzi.
21:05Came to the rescue, it was struck directly at goal by Toko and Joya.
21:09Why not?
21:10Penalty box.
21:14Schwartz with Mandua.
21:17There's the delivery into the penalty box!
21:19Well, coming up and trying to meet that, it's still Cameroon in possession.
21:24Beating the goalkeeper first.
21:28Core control.
21:32He collects it very comfortably there.
21:34Yeah, that's well done by Dudu.
21:35Into the penalty box, the shot coming in!
21:38Again, Mandua, as it blocks it.
21:40Calls that it was handball from the Cameroon supporters and a couple of players,
21:47but let's move on from that.
21:49It was blocked.
21:51Could go to penalties, we're into the last minute.
21:55Oladipo is gonna send this out.
21:57Michele's been a hero.
21:58She's been the standout performer.
22:00They all have, but the goalkeeper has been outstanding.
22:02The high ball comes over the top.
22:04It's the header there.
22:05It's been hit away.
22:05Stop coming in!
22:06It's a left-footed effort that goes wide for Jed Ford.
22:10There is no other option.
22:11That's a high ball.
22:12It's going up.
22:13Okoronkwo!
22:14Okoronkwo!
22:15Okoronkwo!
22:16Nigeria goes close!
22:18It goes wide at the target!
22:21They survive!
22:25Unbelievable.
22:26Okoronkwo was going forward, and she manages to get there.
22:32But the part, the shot that just sneaks past the post, and she had an option.
22:39She had Oshawa who's going absolutely ballistic to her left-hand side.
22:43That pass could have been the equalizer.
22:47Nigeria.
22:51Didn't make the pass.
22:53She tried to sneak it past the goalkeeper, went wide.
22:56Picked up by Nigeria.
22:58How many?
23:00There's the final whistle!
23:03Cameroon are into the semi-finals of Wafcon.
23:10They've beaten the Super Falcons of Nigeria for only the second time.
23:16In 14 meetings.
23:20The neighbors have been beaten.
23:25And we will now have new champions of Africa.
23:31Following Nigeria's elimination, Cameroon.
23:36Cameroon.
23:37Cameroon.
23:38Cameroon.
23:39What they've done here in Morocco is quite extraordinary.
23:43The full-time score, Cameroon 1, Nigeria 0.
23:54A sensational result.
23:59A battle that was built on the collected strengths, as said by Naomi Eto.
24:09Cameroon.
24:11Cameroon.
24:12The tears.
24:13Cameroon.
24:14A randomized shot.
24:17Cameroon.
24:19Thanks.
24:27Countdown.
24:28Cameroon.
24:28Cameroon.
24:29The cream.
24:29Have a goodPUCERE.
