Nigeria dominated possession and fired in 19 shots against Cameroon but were undone by a single first-half goal, while South Africa pushed hosts Morocco all the way before falling 2-1 despite a second-half strike from Thembi Kgatlana. Justine Madugu's Super Falcons will be desperate to sharpen their finishing after failing to convert nine shots on target in the Cameroon defeat, with Asisat Oshoala, Rasheedat Ajibade and Chiamaka Nnadozie all expected to retain their places at the heart of the team.
