Nigeria and SA in women's final
Nigeria and South Africa will do battle for the gold medal in the women's football tournament at the All Africa Games in Algeria.
Defending champions Nigeria ended the hopes of the hosts Algeria in convincing fashion with a 5-0 win, Vera Okolo weighing in with a hat-trick.

In the other semi-final South Africa eased to a 2-0 win over Ghana, who eventually paid the price for using a largely under-19 team for the event.
The match was fairly balanced until Veronica Phewa scored on the hour mark and then just 2 minutes later Simphiwe Dludlu secured the win for South Africa.
The gold medal match between Nigeria and South Africa will be played on Sunday while Algeria and Ghana will play for the bronze medal on Saturday.
