Ball possession:

The result leaves the two North African sides level after a closely contested final, although the official event information supplied for the match contains conflicting entries for the goals and cannot reliably confirm the scorers.

Passes:

The match record lists Algeria’s Marine Dafeur as scoring in the 90th minute to make it 0-1. It also records Dafeur again as scoring at the same time and lists Sofia Bekhaled as making it 0-2. Those entries would be inconsistent with the reported final score of 1-1, so the exact sequence of goals and the identity of the scorer for Morocco’s equaliser could not be verified.

Defense:

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the late goal events, the final score confirms that Morocco W avoided defeat and Algeria W were unable to secure victory in the Africa Cup of Nations Women final.
