The female national football side will face hosts Morocco in the final at Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat on Saturday. It will be Banyana's sixth Wafcon final, where they hope to finally emerge as victors after their five previous runners-up finishes. Ethiopian referee Lidya Tafesse Abebe pointed to the spot after video assistant referee found Jermaine Seoposenwe had been brought down in the box. The call was controversial but Linda Motlhalo shook it off to convert the penalty.
Zambia looked the more lethal in the first half, despite Banyana's superior possession. SA came out stronger in the second half and pressed their opponents more but seemed to lack that killer edge that saw them the early tournament favourites.
