Super Falcons forward Asisat Oshoala took a subtle dig at Ghanaians following Nigeria's qualification to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The Super Eagles defeated South Africa on penalties to keep their dreams of winning a fourth AFCON title alive.

Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was the hero of the night after saving two penalties as Nigeria won 4-2 to secure their place in Sunday's final.

After the match, Oshoala took to social media to react to the performance of the national team, posting a series of messages on her timeline.

However, one of those posts poked fun at Nigeria's main rivals, Ghana.

"Why do I feel this victory pain Ghana pass South Africa," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Ghana and Nigeria are known for their rivalry, which stems from their long-standing relationship along the west coast of Africa. The failure of the Black Stars to progress beyond the group stage has seen Ghanaians support teams that play against the Super Eagles.

Nigeria will face host nation Ivory Coast in the final on Sunday at the Alassane Outtara Stadium in Ebimpe, per Sky Sports.
