🙌 SHOUTOUT: MICHELLE ALOZIE WAS EXCEPTIONAL TONIGHT 🙌

Before this night ends, Michelle Alozie deserves her flowers. 🌹

Tasked with helping contain one of the most dangerous attacking duos in the tournament Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji Alozie was full of energy, everywhere on the pitch, and delivered a genuinely credible, professional performance when Nigeria needed it most.

This is exactly the kind of composed, high-energy display that keeps a title defense alive. Quietly doing the job, no fuss, just results.

Asisat Oshoala's 8th-minute strike proved to be the difference-maker, and Nigeria held firm for the remaining 82+ minutes against one of the tournament's most dangerous attacking sides Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji were kept largely quiet by a resilient Super Falcons backline.

After the shock defeat to Malawi, this response says everything about the character in this squad. One goal, one clean sheet, THREE massive points.

⏸️ HALF-TIME: NIGERIA 1-0 ZAMBIA ⏸️

The Super Falcons lead through Asisat Oshoala's 8th-minute strike but it's been anything but straightforward.

Nigeria are down to 10 players after Oluwatosin Demehin was shown a straight red card before the break, following an earlier yellow and a VAR review. A massive moment in a must-win fixture.

That means a full 45+ minutes against one of the tournament's most dangerous attacks Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji with Nigeria a player short. This second half is set to be pure tension.

Hold on, or crumble? The next 45 minutes decide Nigeria's WAFCON fate.
