The Indomitable Lionesses held the Atlas Lionesses to a 0–0 draw after 120 minutes before eventually winning the shootout 3–1, with goalkeeper Michaely Bihina emerging as the decisive figure.

Bihina delivered an outstanding display throughout the contest, making four vital penalty saves, one during extra time and three more in the shootout putting Cameroon within touching distance of the trophy.

Despite facing a strong Moroccan team on home soil, Cameroon remained organised and disciplined from the opening whistle. Their determined defensive display kept Morocco at bay and ensured the contest went all the way to penalties.

The Lionesses then showed remarkable composure from the spot, placing their faith in Bihina to finish the job. The goalkeeper once again responded when her team needed her most.

Softfootball understands, Bihina has been among the tournament’s standout players, and her latest heroics have now helped Cameroon reach the WAFCON final.

Cameroon will meet Malawi on Sunday in a historic final, with both nations chasing their first‑ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title.
