Malawi beat Ghana to book first-ever place at Women's World Cup
Malawi beat Ghana 2-1 in Sunday's last quarter-final of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, securing their first-ever spot in the World Cup. Rose Kadzere scored a 79th-minute winner after Temwa Chawinga's 12th-minute equaliser, following Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah's seventh-minute lead for Ghana.
Malawi join Algeria, Cameroon, and Morocco as Africa's four automatic qualifiers for next year's 32-team World Cup in Brazil. The four WAFCON quarter-final winners all advanced directly to the World Cup. Malawi will meet Algeria in Wednesday's first WAFCON semi-final. Cameroon ousted defending champions Nigeria 1-0 in Casablanca earlier on Sunday, with 19-year-old Myriam Nyadjou scoring. Nigeria had qualified for all nine previous Women's World Cup finals. Their defeat means there will be a new WAFCON winner next week. The final is next Sunday in Rabat.
