WAFCON 2026: Who Was Named Woman of the Match in Nigeria's 6-2 Victory Over Egypt?
Super Falcons winger Rinsola Babajide was named the official Woman of the Match following her outstanding display in Nigeria's emphatic 6-2 victory over Egypt at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Babajide was one of Nigeria's standout performers as the Super Falcons produced an attacking masterclass to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.
The winger played a key role in the opening half, providing a perfectly weighted assist for Gift Monday to score Nigeria's second goal deep into first-half stoppage time.
Throughout the match, Babajide constantly troubled the Egyptian defence with her pace, creativity, and direct running, creating several dangerous opportunities while linking up effectively with Nigeria's attacking players.
Her impressive all-round performance helped the Super Falcons bounce back in style, recording their biggest win of the tournament and booking a place in the knockout stage.
