Ajibade in Tears as She Dedicates Player of the Match Award to Team
Rasheedat Ajibade got emotional after being named Player of the Match in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over South Africa, saying she didn’t feel she deserved the honour. It was her third consecutive award in the tournament, but this time, she broke down in tears as she received it, choosing instead to give credit to her teammates.
Ajibade had opened the scoring for Nigeria with a first-half penalty, before South Africa’s Linda Motlhalo equalised from the spot. The game was sealed in dramatic fashion when Michelle Alozie’s deep cross slipped past the South African keeper in stoppage time, sending the Super Falcons into the WAFCON final.
Speaking after the match, Ajibade said, “I honestly don’t think I deserve this. It’s all by God’s grace, and I dedicate every single one of these awards to my teammates. This is a team effort, not just about me.”
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
