It looked as though the Edo Queens were on their way back to Nigeria when the South Africans were still leading 1-0 in the 93rd minute. However, Emem Essien and Mary Mamudu came to the rescue, with Essien scoring the late equalizer and Mamudu netting the subsequent winning goal in extra time.


Emem Essien scored the equalizing goal for Edo Queens in the 95th minute, canceling out M. Kgatiete's 24th-minute goal.


The equalizer was enough to send the Nigerians through to the semifinals, but their hard work paid off with a turnaround, as Mary Mamudu found the back of the net with a sublime strike five minutes later, condemning the defending champions.


Edo Queens, the Nigeria Women Premier League champions, began the tournament in Morocco with a 3-0 victory over Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, with Emem Essien, Folashade Ijamilusi, and Goodness Osigwe scoring for the Queens.


They settled for a goalless draw in their second match against Masar FC of Egypt before the final group game in which they stunned the defending champions 2-1.
