Cameroon has advanced to the 2026 WAFCON final following an impressive performance in the semi-final, where they eliminated the host nation Morocco through a penalty shootout.
The Indomitable Lionesses played to a 0–0 stalemate against the Atlas Lionesses after 120 minutes, ultimately triumphing 3–1 in the penalty shootout, with goalkeeper Michaely Bihina playing a pivotal role.
Bihina’s performance was extraordinary, as she made four crucial penalty saves, including one in extra time and three during the shootout, bringing Cameroon closer to claiming the trophy.
Facing a formidable Moroccan team on their home turf, Cameroon maintained solid organization and discipline from the start. Their resolute defensive efforts restricted Morocco’s attempts and led the match to penalties.
When the time came for the penalty shootout, the Lionesses exhibited remarkable poise, entrusting Bihina with the critical task, and she once again delivered when it mattered the most.
Softfootball reports that Bihina has emerged as one of the tournament’s top performers, and her latest contributions have propelled Cameroon into the WAFCON final.
Cameroon is set to face Malawi on Sunday in a landmark final, with both teams vying for their first-ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title.
