Malawi have reached their first-ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final after defeating Algeria 3-1 in a thrilling semi-final in Rabat on Wednesday.
The Scorchers secured the historic victory at the Olympic Stadium in Morocco, continuing their remarkable run in their debut appearance at the continental tournament.
The match was a high-intensity contest, with both sides reduced to 10 players after receiving red cards during the first half.
The first dismissal came early in the game, before Algeria were also shown a red card roughly 20 minutes later as the physical battle intensified.
Despite playing with a reduced number of players, Malawi maintained their composure and eventually pulled away from their North African opponents to secure a 3-1 victory.
