Nigeria’s Super Falcons overcame a two-goal first-half deficit to defeat host nation Morocco 3–2 in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final on July 26, 2025, at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. The win secured Nigeria’s record-extending 10th WAFCON title and reaffirmed their status as the dominant force in African women’s football. The thrilling contest also highlighted the rise of Morocco as a new power in the women’s game.

Morocco began the match with intensity and control, capitalizing on home advantage. Ghizlane Chebbak opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a composed finish, followed by a second goal from Sanaa Mssoudy in the 24th minute. The Atlas Lionesses looked well on their way to a historic maiden title as they controlled much of the first half, leaving Nigeria visibly shaken.

However, the second half brought a different story. Nigeria responded with determination and tactical adjustments. Esther Okoronkwo pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 64th minute. Just minutes later, Folashade Ijamilusi leveled the score, sparking belief within the Nigerian camp. Then, in dramatic fashion, Joe Echegini scored the winning goal in stoppage time to complete a remarkable comeback.

The victory not only crowned Nigeria as champions once again but also demonstrated the team’s resilience and experience in high-pressure matches. For Morocco, the loss was painful but their run to the final has been widely praised as a breakthrough moment. The final showcased the growing strength and competitiveness of women’s football on the African continent, promising even more compelling tournaments in the years to come.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City: Martinelli Strikes Late to Deny Guardiola’s Men

Published

on

Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a tense Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against City in recent meetings, but both sides may feel they missed a chance to make a strong statement in the title race.

City made the brighter start and struck in just the ninth minute. Tijjani Reijnders launched a rapid counterattack, combining with Erling Haaland, who finished with trademark precision past David Raya to give the visitors the lead. Arsenal, by contrast, struggled for rhythm in the first half, finding it difficult to break down City’s compact shape while also leaving themselves vulnerable on the break.

The second half saw a shift in momentum. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, whose energy and creativity tilted the game in the home side’s favour. Arsenal pressed higher, dominated possession, and carved out opportunities, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm, making key saves to frustrate the Gunners. Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, chose to sit deep and protect their narrow lead, sacrificing attacking intent in favour of defensive organisation.

Just when it seemed City’s resilience would deliver all three points, Arsenal struck back in dramatic fashion. In the third minute of stoppage time, Eze’s long ball released Martinelli, who kept his composure to lob Donnarumma and send the Emirates into raptures. The goal secured a deserved point for Arsenal, who had pressed relentlessly in search of an equaliser.

The result leaves Arsenal on 10 points from five matches, while City sit on seven. For Arsenal, the draw was a relief but also a reminder of the fine margins in top-level contests. For City, the late concession underscored lingering questions about their ability to maintain control when defending a lead. Both teams, however, remain firmly in the early title picture, and Sunday’s clash offered a glimpse of the intensity likely to define the race ahead.
