00:00we are underway in Nigeria's bid to reclaim their title once upon once again upon our state
00:13only failed to win three out of the previous 12 editions of the WAFCON that's feat today
00:22Sinachi Ohale just looking long to the left-hand side nice switch of play Nigeria playing for
00:29left to right all in green and Tunisia all in star goal in Rabat last night swung in in it goes and it
00:36is in the back of the net and they were just four minutes on the clock and Nigeria's Super Falcons
00:42have scored already Asisat Oshuala celebrates the goal who else and there was a fairly routine
00:51delivery into the area which Tunisia simply did not deal with and a woman who has already won
00:58three WAFCON titles showing her intentions very very early on as well and now she enjoyed that goal as well
01:06look at the smiles look at the celebration as well figuring that the base of that Nigeria midfield
01:12here she is on the ball options to her left when she plays it into a plump trip
01:15and she looks long instantly a G ready little touch on my G with a again paint a shawala free in the
01:24middle if she can find out when it came to her at a difficult angle and she couldn't wrap her foot
01:28around the ball or shawala we've got a little touch off a Tunisian player as well and real space is there
01:35for Nigeria to experience the Tunisian goalkeeper swung it left-footed and it met again by a Nigerian head
01:43on this occasion I think it took a little touch off a Tunisian on the way behind the goal
01:49warming the bench as Nigeria I'm going to profit from that poor defensive play in the middle important
01:59stop from the skipper or the stopper Sumayla my jabrani in goal for Tunisia that was a real invitation to
02:10plump trip and can Nigeria still profit from it into the middle it goes again headed away
02:15Ajibade
02:17and to Deborah Abiudonu rather a lot of it in the remainder of this game
02:25Abiudonu in late there and that looks painful for Awina who's beating the ground in frustration
02:32there's no stranger to whiskey challenges and you can see the pain on the face of the 30 is yes and here comes
02:46Germazi Zemzem twisting one way then the other and into the middle it goes well there was no one there
02:53you can see the interplay between Zemzem and Germazi you know saying it just a moment ago that they need a little bit more support I think
03:00it's initially to really work on that well at Tunisia as well I can think they can be fairly
03:06infused I'll come to this field in the moment Olosie down the right-hand side into the middle it goes
03:10all the way across nearly the six-yard box without anybody getting a touch on it plump tree now from distance
03:17made it forward was it a shot was it a strike that's a strike from Ajibade and it whistles past the right-hand post
03:24and with nearly half an hour on the clock 28 minutes or so it is time for a cooling break here in Casablanca
03:32Shaima Adesi 32 years of age now but they've lost it in the middle of the park Abiudon out wide to Payne
03:41Ajibade ahead of her she cuts inside onto her left foot
03:45Tony Payne and well in the strike lacked power uncomfortable save in the end for Jabrani
03:51but it just opened up for Payne just didn't get enough power on the strike
03:57yeah in Spain for a while
04:02Allende Ajibade into the middle it goes and just sailed over the outstretched arm of Sulaima Jabrani
04:12of course
04:17yeah this is a nice turn Oshwala going into the middle
04:24came with a difficult hug
04:26Abiudon trying her luck from distance and that's not the cleanest strike either
04:30she needs to just about get this away
04:33Betumi
04:37that's careless
04:39Oshwala
04:40Abiudon
04:41onto her left
04:42this is lovely play from Abiudon and she's forced a really good save as well from Jabrani who had to get down low
04:47we just opened up for Deborah Abiudon the 21 year old and she ghosted through onto her left
04:54and she didn't get the power she would have wanted unselfish play from Oshwala
04:59she got a shot away and a smart save in the end
05:03yeah that competition but they made it to the quarterfinals last time around so
05:08it won't be easy for them Oshwala just trying to take advantage here in she is Oshwala strike a goal
05:12and a really smart defender by Rooney who was alert to the danger because
05:17Babajide
05:19under pressure that's well played from her Babajide now can she find the pass into Tony Payne into the middle it goes
05:24and I'm not sure she looks she just played it in and hoped
05:28Plumtree
05:30trying herself now to Mason's face Payne
05:34has come through to Babajide
05:36Babajide is goal and Babajide doubles Nigeria's lead in first half stoppage time
05:44and finally
05:47get a little bit of a cushion
05:49they have huffed and they have puffed
05:51and they scored a goal right at the start of the first period
05:56and they scored in stoppage time at the end of the first half as well
06:01and a moment for Babajide to celebrate
06:04and you celebrated it
06:09you could tell that that ball was going in no delay no second thought about it
06:15and that I think that's what we need
06:17VAR
06:18and we are going to go to VAR
06:20and then
06:21Yama El Sada
06:23will feel possibly vindicated
06:25I think we need to go back a little bit before that
06:36it's a good decision
06:39Bravo great great great decision
06:43and Tunisian has shoes but still with it Nigerians
06:47Ajib at it
06:49he's trying to win this back
06:51find a bit of space in a very crowded area that taking a deflection
06:55got behind for a corner
06:57Oshawola looking for her second of the game
07:00looped up off Rudy
07:02and it has been ruled out I believe
07:20confusion
07:22and the Nigerian players don't know whether to celebrate or not
07:24the Tunisian players are just walking away as if the goal has not been given
07:28I think it has been ruled out
07:32so she had a decision to make so
07:34I'm true
07:36agreed
07:38was really no contact against the goalkeeper
07:43you know I think that that goes should have
07:46done
07:47well that's what this allowed to do contact on the keeper
07:53the as finicky as it was and chose to the assistant goal scoring
07:57out of the game
07:58so what do you make of those changes a triple substitution from coach Justin Madugu
08:14at half time to Ichebe
08:17just come on the 24 you are that's a searching cross and that's a really important save as well from Gebrani
08:23gone out of the box so in it goes again deeper this time and that's a good head as well and it's not fully cleared and it's spilled by the Tunisians and they've managed to get it away as well
08:34for a moment it looks as though Grisha was going to get on the end of that
08:37here's Ohale
08:39comfortable save in the end for Jabrani while she was in acres of space Osinace Ohale
08:44she scored at the Women's World Cup against Australia in that 3-2 win for Nigeria
08:49and she had space there as well but she just couldn't generate the power
08:53Bitter really helped the younger generation
08:58we've got defending to do now
09:00Plumtry into the middle it goes and a strike out goal comes in as well
09:04will now be playing with a front three
09:06Tunisia
09:07and here is Germazi
09:09drops to the shoulder and lets fly
09:12Dinked in
09:15here it goes
09:16still not fully cleared and when he gets it away
09:19only as far as Plumtry just scoops it up into the middle
09:22and this could be three and surely should be three
09:25and that is a horror miss
09:27and no wonder she holds her head in her hands
09:31Ohale because it just came all the way through really inventive
09:35from Plumtry she could see the bodies in front of her
09:38so she did the only thing that she could do which is just scoops
09:41against the Togolese of course
09:43and they could get themselves some sort of a decision here
09:47well it's come through to Elluzzi who gets her shot on goal
09:50but the Tunisian player who went into the box initially is still down on the ground
09:53and I think she wants a penalty
09:55and I think she's going to stay down
09:57in the hope that at some point VAR is going to be called into action
10:00Zem Zem it was
10:03but Elluzzi managing to force
10:06and Madozier into action for the first time
10:10hang on, hang on, here we are
10:11we are going to VAR
10:13well I think that's absolutely the right decision myself
10:16and I think it's long overdue frankly
10:18clear contact
10:20Zem Zem coming inside
10:23or Halle
10:24and you can see clear as they
10:27the contact
10:28it's actually the leopard on the left knee
10:31of Zem Zem
10:32and the next thing as though she got her with her left
10:34and the next thing as though she got her with her left
10:44foul
10:46she has decided
10:47that it was a foul initially on the builder
10:50Oshuala and Misola Babajide
10:52into the middle it goes
10:53just needed a touch
10:54and she couldn't get it to Achebi
10:57through the middle they're trying to go in
10:59and the referee clattered into
11:01Ohale
11:02put his face on the right hand side
11:04this is good possession from Nigeria
11:06can they convert it into a goal?
11:08they can because they've hit the post
11:10well how close were they there to making it three
