Super Falcons match today vs South Africa

The Super Falcons, Africa's top-ranked team, flattered to deceive in the Group Stage of this WAFCON, before finding their groove in spectacular fashion in the quarter-final rout of Zambia.

While the dropping of Asisat Oshoala made headlines, there was more to the transformation than that. The performance against a dangerous Shepolopolo was inspired, defined by movement, combination and work rate in a way that suggests a new era has dawned.

On their part, South Africa have been somewhat inconsistent in their title defence, but retain a very high floor. They may not be the attacking force they have been down the years, but they certainly will threaten more against the Super Falcons than Zambia did.
