Casablanca, Morocco – Na wetin dey happen for this year’s Women's Africa Cup of Nations don catch everybody for yawa! Quarterfinals dey come, and the big match wey everybody dey gisto be Nigeria Super Falcons versus Zambia Copper Queens for Stade Larbi Zaouli.
The date na Friday, 5 PM local time (12 PM ET), make you mark am well well. This one no be just match, e be clash of titans! As per say, Nigeria don bag 11 WAFCON titles, while Zambia don dey make wave lately, qualifying for Olympics and World Cup. Like movie wey plenty plot twist dey, this match fit decide who go carry the title home dis time.
Nigeria don dey shine for this tournament, no be joke. Dem steered clear of losses, and their defense na like iron fence! Dem no fit collect any goal since dem enter Morocco. But abeg, dem go need more than dat to silence Zambia wey get strong attackers, Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji. Na dem dey make noise for pitch like say dem dey play concert! (Hope say Nigeria coach Justin Madugu don run enough tactics for this one o!)
As e be, both teams collect 7 points from their groups, but how dem come fit qualify dey really interesting. Nigeria swat away Tunisia like fly, but struggle small against Botswana and Algeria. On the other hand, Zambia kick off with strong fire and then chop late equalizer from Morocco. E be like say dem go regret dat equalizer when dem carry dis tough task come their lap.
Sincerely, Nigeria no fit afford to lose this one wey history dey play for their side. Dem never been knocked out at this stage before, and e go dey heavy for dem body if dem lose like say dem carry rock for head. Plus, Zambia dey ready to spoil the party with their attacking style wey dey move fast like Usain Bolt! (We dey hope say dem no go fall back to sleep for defense o!)
But how Nigeria fit stop these fast lailai girls from Zambia? Na where Ogbonna Wale, the inbound midfield genius, go come play his part. He say, ‘We dey prepare against Zambia as whole team, no be just two players.’ True talk! As we don dey see from past matches, if Nigeria allow dem too many room, na serious wahala go follow!
And one more thing to watch out for, the fans! Stade Larbi Zaouli go dey full as Moroccan fans wan witness the magic. E fit be gisting spot, or a fantastic show wey fit end in drama. Na wetin make football dey sweet, no be so?
So, whether you dey wear green or you dey cheer for Copper Queens, make you settle down, popcorn dey ready, make we see who go carry the day! Dis one go choke!
