WAFCON Group C Permutations: Nigeria, Zambia, Malawi battle for two quarter-final spots

The stage is set for tonight’s CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, final Group C fixtures.
This means that Group C is heading for a dramatic final day showdown, and only two out of the four teams will qualify for the two quarter-final spots.
But if Zambia beats Malawi, it creates a three-way tie on six points for Nigeria, Zambia and Malawi, allowing CAF’s head-to-head rules (excluding results against Egypt) to decide who among Nigeria, Zambia and Malawi advances.
But a high-scoring Zambia win against Malawi, like 4-3, could eliminate Nigeria, with Malawi and Zambia advancing on goals scored.
This means that the WAFCON Group C remains wide open as the top two teams will advance to the quarter-finals.
