Wafcon 2024: Hosts Morocco beat Ghana 4-2 on penalties to reach final

Hosts Morocco will face Nigeria in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after beating Ghana 4-2 in a penalty shootout at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

The game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and neither side could break the deadlock in extra time.

Evelyn Badu struck Ghana’s third penalty wide and, with Morocco maintaining a perfect record from the spot, the pressure was too much for 18-year-old Comfort Yeboah who saw her effort saved by the diving Khadija Er-Rmichi.

The game had started very differently for the Black Queens, who were the better side in the first half and took the lead in the 26th minute through Stella Nyamekye.

Morocco came to life after the break and found their equaliser through winger Sakina Ouzraoui 10 minutes into the second period.

The result means the Atlas Lionesses will contest a second consecutive final on home soil, looking to lift the Wafcon trophy for the first time and deny Nigeria a record-extending 10th title.
