African Games: Nigeria U20 women face Algeria in semi-final

The Nigeria U20 women's team will battle Algeria in the semi-final of the ongoing 2019 African Games in Rabat.

The Falconets reached the knockout stage in style as they defeated South Africa 3-0 before getting a walkover against Zambia. Then they were held to a 1-1 by Cameroon.

Cameroon's 1-0 win over South Africa means Christopher Danjuma's side finished top of Group B on superior goals despite being tied on seven points after three games.

On the other hand, Algeria finished second in Group A after a 1-0 win in their final group game against Equatorial Guinea on Friday.
