Super Falcons midfielder Michelle Alozie has won the Player of the Match award after delivering a tireless and stellar defensive performance to help Nigeria secure a 1-0 victory over Zambia at the ongoing 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Recall that the Super Falcons defeated Zambia 1-0, thanks to a goal from Asisat Oshoala in the eighth minute of the encounter.

Nigeria played with 10 players for over half the game after Oluwatosin Demehin received a red card in the 40th minute.
However, Alozie’s tireless work in the midfield prevented the Zambians from causing any serious threat in the Super Falcons defence.

The win takes Nigeria to second with a superior head-to-head and need to beat Egypt convincingly in their final group stage match to advance to the quarter-finals.
With Malawi already top of the group with six points, Nigeria’s next game against Egypt is a must-win, as a draw might see Zambia climb above the Super Falcons in Group C on goal difference.
