But the African champions fought hard to keep the resilient South Africans at bay, especially cutting supplies to leading goal scorer Thembi Kgatlana, whose five goals won her the Golden Boot.

This worked to perfection and what even went their advantage – a penalty during open play – was missed by markswoman Asisat Oshoala.

The win gives the Super Falcons their 11th title overall.

While South Africa win Silver, Cameroon won Bronze after beating Mali 4-2 on Friday.

The next edition of the tournament is scheduled to be held in Congo.
