African champions, the Super Falcons, will be gunning for eight record win of the African Women Championship trophy against hosts, the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, on Saturday.
The Florence Omagbemi-led team picked the final ticket following their lone goal win over the Bayana Bayana of South Africa on Tuesday.
Falcons got off to an encouraging start, with England-based forward, Asisat Oshoala, causing a few problems for the Banyana defence.
With the Super Falcons pushing a for an opener, Dlamini was proving key for Bayana as she produced a fine save to deny Nigeria a goal in the 25th minute.
The Bayana did have the ball in the back of the net just before the halftime break, but the effort was flagged offside.
The Nigerians broke the deadlock in the 57th minute courtesy of a fine free-kick from Desire Oparanozi.
Bayana almost grabbed an equalizer in the 86th minute, but they had two efforts cleared off the line by the Nigerian defence.
The Bayana could not find the equalising goal in the closing stages, as the Super Falcons held on for the victory.
South Africa will now face Ghana in the third/fourth play-off on Friday.
