Atlas Lionesses Roar Towards WAFCON Final: Morocco Faces Ghana in Epic Semi-Final Showdown
After their victory against Mali (3-1) in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the Atlas Lionesses will cross swords with the Black Queens of Ghana in the semi-finals this Tuesday. A match that promises to be intense.
Against the Ghanaians, the Moroccans intend to give it their all to secure their ticket to the final. Jorge Vilda’s protégées are motivated and confident for this semi-final, after their overwhelming victory (3-1) against Mali in the quarter-finals. For their part, the Black Queens, renowned for their solid defense, will undoubtedly give the Atlas Lionesses a hard time, despite their fatigue after a hard-fought quarter-final against Algeria. The confrontation is therefore expected to be intense.
During the quarter-finals, the Moroccan team delivered a remarkable performance. The Atlas Lionesses crushed Mali (3-1) on Friday in Rabat, thanks to a brace from Ibtissam Jraïdi and a goal from Kenza Chapelle. Against the Black Queens this Tuesday in the semi-finals, Jorge Vilda’s protégées, in addition to confidence, will benefit from the massive support of the public.
Finalist in 2022, the Moroccan team is one match away from a new final of the Women’s AFCON. Since the beginning of the competition, the Moroccan players have shown their offensive efficiency by scoring 7 goals in the group stage and 3 in the quarter-finals. Against a very fast and defensively solid Ghanaian team, the Moroccans will have to tighten their ranks and correct the defensive and midfield errors noted against Mali in the quarter-finals to guarantee a place in the final.
The Atlas Lionesses will face the Black Queens this Tuesday at 8 pm at the Rabat Olympic Stadium.
