Their lasers didn’t work: Nigerian defender Alozie trolls Moroccans after historic WAFCON win

Following Nigeria’s dramatic and historic 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Morocco in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final, Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie wasted no time in delivering a witty post-match troll aimed at their home rivals.

In an unforgettable showdown at the Stade Olympique in Rabat, the Falcons overturned a two-goal deficit to clinch their record-breaking 10th WAFCON title, with Esther Okoronkwo playing a starring role by scoring once and assisting twice, including the match-winning goal by Jennifer Onyinyechi Echegini.

Throughout the tense final, Moroccan fans employed a controversial tactic by shining laser lights onto Nigerian players, notably targeting Okoronkwo’s eyes, provoking online chatter and viral images showing the star forward’s face illuminated by green laser beams.

But in her post-match celebrations, Michelle Alozie took to her Snapchat to mock the Moroccan supporters’ efforts, posting a lively video of herself and Okoronkwo celebrating their victory with the cheeky caption: “Their lasers didn’t work.”

Alozie’s confident and playful message perfectly captured the winning spirit of the Super Falcons, who showed resilience and focus despite the hostile atmosphere and unconventional distractions.

As Nigeria’s unbeaten run in WAFCON finals continues, Alozie’s clever jab has already led to reactions across social media, symbolising not only the team’s skill on the pitch but their unshakable composure in the most heated moments.

With Mission X completed in spectacular fashion, the Super Falcons will return home as African champions once again—laser beams and all.
