Good job girls

Edo Queens are good ! hope they are not meeting with those men that paraded themselves as women in the semi;s ?

Ghana and South Africa don see shege for our hand

Thanks girls for making us proud

What a breathtaking match, it looked as if it was not going to be their day, considering the numerous chances squandered, including the PK miss.

Sometimes, it is good to leave it late so that your opponent doesn't have a way back into the match.

Even the Ghanians were supporting the SA girls. 😅 Kudos girls for shutting up the S.Africans, and putting the Ghanaians to shame.

A well deserved victory. Go girls!

This is an excellent result...

Least expected..

I was thinking they messed up the chance of qualifying by getting a draw in their previous match.. think this SA team will beat them.

Edo Queens can go all the way to win this competition.

Well done Queens!

Congratulations Edo Queens. Well deserved.

Congrats to Edo Queens. No one has mentioned that the Nigerian representatives were few mins away from being knocked out of the tournament.
It’s scary to think that it could’ve been them sitting in the third position with 4 points and on their way home now if they hadn’t equalised after 90th min.

I hope they do much better in the semi finals. They won their first game, played a boring draw in the second and nearly crashed out in their last game. Let this be the awakening that they need to win the tournament.

Satan frica yaff suffer yaff suffer for Nigeria hand walahi

Ah!

Added time goals!

Their greatest enemy now will be the North Africans and their conspiracy.

Wow! Congrats to Edo Queens and Nigeria.
