Super Falcons Thursday evening at
the Abuja Goal Project pitch whiplashed an Abuja based women division
league side Capital City Doves FC by 8-0 in a test game.
Chiwendu
Ihezuo opened scoring in the 20th minute and got her brace in the 30th
minute of the game dominated by the Super Falcons. Uchechi Sunday made
it three in the 32nd minute and the scoreline remained like that at
interval.
In
the second stanza the Falcons brought an entire set of girls and as
early as the second minute of the restart Yetunde Adeboyejo made it four
before Asisat Oshoala got her hatrick in the 52, 67 and 70th minutes
and Chioma Wogu completed the rout in the 71st. Not even the
introduction of Desire Oparanozie who arrived from Turkey Thursday
afternoon in the 80 min could add to the scoreline as Falcons frittered
several chances
It
was Falcons first test game against a female team as they had
previously been playing male sides whom the coaches believed would
toughen them and give them pace.
"The
match is a good test for my girls in terms of helping them build their
confidence.We have been playing boys for pace and strength,this match is
meant to build on their confidence" Coach Okon stated.
