Defending champions Super Falcons of Nigeria will Thursday battle Africa’s second best team Cameroon for a place in next year’s World Cup after they smashed past Burundi 4-0 tonight in Rabat.
Mexico-based striker Uchenna Kanu grabbed a brace with the outstanding Rasheedat Ajibade and Peace Efih also among the goals to inflict the third straight defeat for debutants Burundi tonight.
Ajibade opened scoring for the Super Falcons from the penalty spot after she was fouled inside the box on her way to goal.
The Atletico Madrid forward was then involved in her team’s three other goals.
South Africa won Group C after they achieved a perfect nine points following their hard-fought 1-0 win over Southern African rivals Botswana in tonight’s other fixture.
South Africa will now battle third best losers Tunisia in the quarterfinal, while Botswana, who also finished as third best losers, will take on hosts Morocco.
The final quarterfinal will be between Zambia and Senegal.
The quarterfinals will be played on Wednesday and Thursday.
