"HOLY GHOST GOAL!!" - Super Falcons' hottest Michelle Alozie describes her 60-yard golazo against South Africa

Michelle Alozie etched her name into WAFCON history after firing home a 60-yard golazo to eliminate South Africa in a dramatic semifinal at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. 

With the score at 1–1 and extra time looming, the Houston Dash defender widely considered the ‘hottest footballer’ in the Super Falcons team, launched a sensational left-footed cross from deep inside her own half, sending the ball bouncing over the keeper and into the net — a strike so improbable that even replays briefly handed credit to teammate Deborah Abiodun.

 VAR confirmed Alozie as the rightful scorer, and the entire Super Falcons squad united in celebration, delighting fans across the country.

The goal proved decisive in Nigeria’s 2–1 victory, booking their place in the WAFCON final against hosts Morocco.

After the final whistle, a triumphant Alozie took to Snapchat to describe her crucial game winner, captioning a clip of her golazo:  “HOLY GHOST GOAL!!!!!!”

Despite a shaky start, the Super Falcons fashionista admitted to a few misplaced passes earlier before emerging as her team’s unlikely hero, shining when it mattered most. 

Known for her versatility as a defender and attacker, Alozie has played a key role in the road to “Mission X” — Nigeria’s bid for a record-extending 10th WAFCON title as outlined by the Nigeria Football Federation earlier this month.

Now, all eyes turn to the WAFCON 2024 final showdown on Saturday, 26 July, at Casablanca’s Olympic Stadium, where Nigeria will face the host nation. 

Morocco booked their place in the final after dispatching Ghana via penalties earlier this week.
