Nigeria finished second in group B after two wins a loss, while Cameroon were top of group A with two wins and a draw.
The Super Falcons were however bullied to creating very few chances in the first half as the Indomitable Lionesses controlled possession and set the tone of the game.

Captain Onome Ebi, Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala and Ngozi Ebere all converted their spot kicks to give Nigeria a 4-2 victory.
By winning the semifinal game the Super Falcons have qualified for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and will face either the Bayana Bayana of South Africa or Mali in the final of the AWCON 2018.
