RABAT, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Malawi ⁠continued their fairytale debut at the Women’s Africa ⁠Cup of Nations, coming from behind to beat ‌Ghana 2-1 in Sunday’s last quarter-final which also secured them a spot in the World Cup for the first time.

Rose Kadzere scored ​a 79th minute winner following Temwa Chawinga’s ⁠12th minute equaliser after ⁠English-born striker Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah had put Ghana into a ⁠seventh minute ‌lead.

Malawi join Algeria, Cameroon and Morocco as Africa’s four automatic qualifiers for next year's 32-team ⁠World Cup in Brazil. The four WAFCON ​quarter-final winners all ‌advanced directly to the World Cup.

Malawi will meet Algeria ⁠in Wednesday’s ​first WAFCON semi-final, followed by hosts Morocco against Cameroon, who earlier on Sunday produced a shock when they ousted ⁠defending champions Nigeria 1-0 in Casablanca.

Myriam Nyadjou, ​19, struck a superb long-range free kick to hand her country a World Cup ticket.

Nigeria had qualified for all ⁠nine previous Women’s World Cup finals but now have to try and gain entry to the finals through a complicated play-off route that offers Africa the possibility of ​two more representatives.

Their defeat means there ⁠will be a new WAFCON winner next week. Equatorial Guinea ​and South Africa are the ‌only other countries to have won ​the African title.

The final is next Sunday in Rabat.
