CAN féminine Maroc 2026 : le Malawi crée la sensation face au Nigeria
This is the first major upset of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026. Reigning African champions and holders of ten continental titles, Nigeria, suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match. The Super Falcons lost 3-2 to a valiant Malawi side.
Well-organized defensively and playing with confidence, Malawi perfectly contained Nigeria's attacks. Clinical in front of goal, the Malawians opened the scoring in the 73rd minute through Temwa Chawinga. Five minutes later, his sister Tabitha Chawinga doubled the lead (78th minute).
Stung by this setback, the Nigerian women quickly reduced the deficit through Rasheedat Ajibade's penalty (90+2). Pushing for an equalizer, however, they were punished on the counter-attack, with Tabitha Chawinga scoring her second goal in stoppage time (90+6).
Despite Uchenna Kanu pulling a goal back in the dying seconds (90+9), Nigeria couldn't find an equalizer. Malawi ultimately prevailed 3-2, pulling off a stunning upset and creating a sensation at this Women's Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026.
