Morocco female national team, on Monday beat Cup holders Nigeria to qualify for this year’s Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final.
They defeated Nigeria via penalties after both side played a 1-1 draw in the regulation time.
Atlas Lionesses goalkeeper Khadija Er-Rmici denied Ifeoma Onumonu in the second round of the shootout, allowing Rosella Ayane to stroke in the winning kick.
The defending champions then had forward Rasheedat Ajibade sent off with 19 minutes left, and a resolute defensive display saw the match go the distance.
Earlier on Monday, four-time WAFCON runners-up South Africa needed a contentious stoppage-time penalty to secure a 1-0 victory over Zambia.
Linda Motlhalo kept her cool to convert in the 94th minute after Martha Tembo was adjudged to have fouled Jermaine Seoposenwe.
