Outsiders Malawi qualify for their first FIFA World Cup, while defending champions Nigeria are eliminated by Cameroon. Rank outsiders Malawi qualified for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) semifinals and the FIFA World Cup by coming from behind to beat Ghana 2-1 in Morocco on Sunday. Trailing after just seven minutes when Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah volleyed Ghana into the lead, Malawi levelled five minutes later as a Temwa Chawinga shot was deflected into the net. With 79 minutes gone in Rabat, the Malawians went ahead when Rose Kadzere burst into the area and fired past goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan. Rattled Ghana forced late pressure, but never seriously threatened to equalise in the WAFCON quarterfinal.
