Nigeria had a challenging start to the 2012 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, facing a determined Cameroonian team. Despite a valiant effort from Cameroon, Nigeria secured a narrow victory with a goal in the 89th minute, winning the match 2-1. The playing conditions were affected by heavy rain in the Equatorial Guinean capital, impacting the quality of the game. Nigeria, as the defending champion, earned three points and took the lead in Group B, while Cameroon is in fourth place. The group also includes Ethiopia and Ivory Coast, who were yet to play their matches at that point.
