Nigeria wins women's African Cup for 10th title out of 12 (The Associated Press)
Nigeria scored late to deny Cameroon a home triumph and extend its dominance of the women's African Cup of Nations with a 1-0 win in the final on Saturday. Desire Oparanozie's 84th-minute goal in Yaounde gave defending champion Nigeria its 10th title in 12 tournaments. Only Equatorial Guinea in 2008 and 2012 has managed to wrestle the African soccer crown away from the Nigerian women in the last 25 years.
