Nigerian forward Charity Reuben has clinched the Egyptian Women's Cup with Al Ahly following their 1-0 victory over Wagi Degla in a tightly contested final.
The championship match proved to be a battle of endurance as both teams remained deadlocked after 90 minutes of regulation time, forcing the game into extra time.
Ashrakat Adel emerged as the hero for Al Ahly, scoring the decisive goal during the extra period to secure the trophy. This victory marks a historic achievement for Al Ahly women's team, as it is their first-ever Egyptian Women's Cup title.
Reuben, who has been a valuable asset for the Egyptian giants, adds this continental achievement to her impressive resume. Before her move to Egypt, the Nigerian international had previously tasted success in her home country, winning the women's President Federation Cup with Bayelsa Queens.
This latest triumph further highlights the growing influence of Nigerian female footballers in North African leagues, with Reuben continuing to fly the country's flag high on the international stage.
The victory will likely boost Al Ahly's confidence as they look to build on this success in upcoming competitions, with Reuben expected to play a pivotal role in their future campaigns.
