The Scorchers of Malawi humiliated the Super Falcons of Nigeria in their opening game of the 2026 Women African Cup of nations in Morocco.

The Malawi women's national football team, making first appearance in the women's AFOCN, defeated Nigeria Super Falcons, defending champion 3 goals to 2.

The result seemingly reflected populist perception of the Super Falcons before their exit for Morocco. Not too many people believed in the female national team.
