Women's Africa Cup of Nations: Malawi stuns Nigeria, Zambia crushes Egypt

In the Women's Africa Cup of Nations Group C openers in Rabat, Zambia delivered a dominant 6-0 victory over Egypt, led by captain Barbra Banda's quadruple. Racheal Nachula opened the scoring with a penalty, and Eneless Phiri also scored. Meanwhile, ten-time champions Nigeria suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat to tournament debutants Malawi. After a scoreless first half, Temwa Chawinga scored twice, and her sister Tabitha Chawinga added another goal. Nigeria mounted a late comeback with two stoppage-time goals, but Temwa Chawinga's second goal between them sealed a historic win for Malawi. Zambia now tops the group, while Nigeria faces a must-win match against Zambia next.
