Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Bihina has reacted to the Indomitable Lionesses’ victory over the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
Valentine Nguélé’s side booked a place in the semi-final of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations following a hard-earned 1-0 victory over the 10-time champions.
The victory also ensure the Indomitable Lionesses will fly Africa’s flag at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
Myriam Nyadjou scored the decisive goal from a free-kick in the 19th minute.
The Super Falcons, who dominated the game pushed relentlessly for an equaliser, but Bihina repeatedly denied them with a series of crucial saves.
The Benfica shot stopper produced nine saves to prevent Justine Madugu’s side from finding a way back into the game.
Bihina, who was named Player of the Match, praised her teammates for contributing to the win.
“It’s a feeling of pride, our qualification that we wanted so much. We managed to break the curse against Nigeria, we turned things around. It’s the work of the whole team, not just mine,” Bihina told CAF media after the match.
Cameroon will now face hosts Morocco in the semifinals on Wednesday as they continue their quest for a first continental title.
