Nigeria’s Super Falcons have qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after a commanding 6-2 win over Egypt in their final Group C match in Rabat. Captain Asisat Oshoala opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 21st minute after VAR confirmed a handball in Egypt’s box. Nigeria controlled the match and continued to add goals, despite Egypt scoring once before half-time and converting a late penalty. Rasheedat Ajibade and Joy Omewa scored in stoppage time to complete the emphatic victory for the defending champions. Egypt had already been eliminated before the match.

A 6-2 result is emphatic. What stood out most to everyone: the attacking display or the way Nigeria responded after Egypt got on the scoresheet?

Agreed, the response after conceding feels more telling than the scoreline itself.

Qualifying for the quarter-finals with such a commanding final group match should give the Super Falcons real momentum going into the knockout stage.

The scoreline is impressive, but conceding twice is still worth examining before tougher knockout opponents arrive.
