Nigeria have cruised into the final of the Women's Nations Cup after thrashing South Africa 5-0. By winning their semi-final they also qualify for the Women's World Cup in China in 2003. The victory in Warri means that the Super Falcons will meet Ghana on Friday to decide the title. Ghana squeezed through after a narrow 3-2 extra-time win over Cameroon on Tuesday. Nigeria go into the final as favourites; they are the reigning African champions and are playing on home soil. But Ghana have the psychological advantage of having beaten Nigeria 1-0 in a group match earlier in the tournament. It was the first time Nigeria had been beaten by an African team in 12 years. The final is a repeat of the one four years ago, which Nigeria won 2-0. | |
