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.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
