Desire Ellis’ charges will have to show a better performance than the one they dished during their 4-1 penalty victory over Senegal in the quarterfinal on Saturday if they are to get the better of their rivals tonight. Nigeria, on the other hand, has been impressive in Morocco, demolishing Zambia 5-0 in the quarterfinal on Friday.
This will also be the fifth meeting between these two in this stage of the competition, with the Super Falcons winning four, while Banyana have only recorded a single victory in 2012.
