The Super Falcons of Nigeria brushed aside the Lady Elephants of Ivory Coast in the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers.
The Randy Waldrum-led Falcons put in a solid performance to push on to the next round of the qualifying round.
Ifeoma Onumonu scored the two goals the host needed to win the tie at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
“I thought that we had a good control of the game, so I am really proud of the players.
“We have Nnadozie, making a huge save at the end, keeping a clean sheet and we all know that it’s very important.
“We are also proud of this lady (Onumonu). This is her first opportunity to come to Nigeria and represent her country and she scored a brace.
“Ashleigh also gave a good account of herself and it was really a solid performance,” Waldrum said.
