Michaely Bihina wins Africa Cup of Nations and is named best goalkeeper | OneFootball

Michaely Bihina, goalkeeper for Benfica’s women’s side, won the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon and was named the tournament’s best goalkeeper, according to Glorioso 1904.

Cameroon beat Malawi 3-0 in the final on Sunday. Bihina started and kept another clean sheet.

A standout moment came in the semi-final against Morocco. She saved four penalties in one match, one in extra time and three in the penalty shootout, sending Cameroon through.

That display earned her player of the match and established the Benfica keeper among the competition’s leading performers.

She now returns to Benfica as a continental champion, her performances across the tournament a major highlight for the club.
