What Chiamaka Nnadozie Said after Helping Brighton Reach FA Cup Final

Nigeria international goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has expressed her joy after helping Brighton & Hove Albion Women F.C. reach the Women’s FA Cup final following a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Liverpool Women F.C.

Brighton produced a stunning fightback in the thrilling semi-final clash after recovering from a two-goal deficit to secure a historic place at Wembley.

Liverpool started brightly and went ahead in the 11th minute through O’Sullivan before Beata Olsson doubled the lead in the 22nd minute to make it 2-0 for the hosts.

Brighton responded quickly as Manuela Vanegas scored in the 23rd minute to reduce the deficit and revive her side’s hopes before halftime.

After the break, Brighton continued to push forward and found the equaliser in the 54th minute through Madison Haley, setting up a tense finish to the encounter.

With the match heading towards extra time, Nadine Noordam scored a dramatic late winner to complete the remarkable comeback and send Brighton into the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time in the club’s history.

Reacting after the memorable victory, Nnadozie celebrated the achievement on her official X account.

“We are going to Wembley. Straight into the FA Cup finals. Super proud of this team. I give God the glory,” she wrote.

The achievement adds another major highlight to Nnadozie’s impressive debut season in England following her move from Paris FC Féminines in 2025.

The Super Falcons goalkeeper has quickly become one of Brighton’s key players, earning praise for her brilliant saves, calmness under pressure and commanding presence in defence.

Nnadozie has also recorded several clean sheets this season and was recently nominated for the Barclays Women’s Super League Save of the Season award after an outstanding save against Liverpool earlier in the campaign.
