WAFCON 2026: Cameroon’s Eto Calls 1-0 Win Over Super Falcons an ‘Ugly Victory’

Cameroon midfielder Naomi Eto described the Indomitable Lionesses’ 1-0 quarter-final win over Nigeria’s Super Falcons at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations as an “ugly win.” Myriam Nyadjou scored the decisive goal with a first-half free-kick as Cameroon withstood sustained pressure from Nigeria to reach the semi-finals, where they will face Morocco. Eto praised Cameroon’s defensive resilience and celebrated the team’s qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Nigeria will face South Africa in a play-in match for a place in the inter-confederation playoffs.
