The Falconets started on a high as they dominated possession before Rivers Angels' Cynthia Aku opened the scoring after finishing off Monday Gift's fine build-up in the 16th minute, and eventually has a brace credited to her.
U20W will take on Cameroon in the final at the Boubker Aamar Stadium on August 29 after they defeated hosts Morocco 3-1.
