The Bayana Bayana of South Africa pulled off a big upset as they stun Nigeria 4-2 to win the 2021 Aisha Buhari women’s invitational tournament on Tuesday.

Goals from Linda Motlhalo, Gabrielle Salgado, Mamello Makhabane and Michelle Alozie’s early own goal ensured Desiree Ellis’ side outscored the African champions despite a brace from Vivian Ikechukwu in Onikan.

The victory saw Banyana Banyana emerge maiden Aisha Buhari Cup champions with six points from two games and avenged their 2018 TotalEnergies Africa Women’s Cup of Nations final defeat to Nigeria in Ghana and finally recorded their biggest ever win over the nine-time African winners.
