Chiamaka Nnadozie has celebrated Brighton & Hove Albion Women's historic achievement. The Super Falcons goalkeeper helped her side reach the FA Cup final for the first time ever.

Brighton pulled off a stunning 3-2 comeback against Liverpool Women on Sunday. The semi-final clash took place at the BrewDog Stadium.

Nnadozie made two crucial saves during the match. Her performances kept Brighton competitive throughout the thrilling encounter.

Liverpool started strongly and went ahead in the 11th minute. Denise O'Sullivan scored the opening goal for the hosts.

Beata Olsson added a second goal just 11 minutes later. Brighton trailed 2-0 at that point.

Manuela Vanegas pulled one back in the 23rd minute. She reduced the deficit before halftime.

Brighton levelled after the restart. Madison Haley scored in the 54th minute to make it 2-2.

That goal shifted momentum completely in Brighton's direction. They completed the comeback to secure victory.

Nnadozie, the reigning CAF Women's Goalkeeper of the Year, took to X to celebrate. "We are going to Wembley.

Straight into the FA Cup finals," she wrote.

According to her, she was giving glory to God for the achievement. "Super proud of this team," she added.

Brighton will face Manchester City in the final on May 31. City defeated Chelsea Women 3-2 after extra time in their own semi-final encounter.
